Automated testing for mainframeproducts

EBook Description: Aspire used WinRunner and Test Director to verify and validate all existing and new product features of the customer's mainframe integration product suite. The automation scripts developed by Aspire were much appreciated by the customer � they were robust, configurable and reusable. This reduced testing cycle times and improved product qualit

We present a technique to test servers that interact with clients using the Sun RPC protocol. The
technique requires the user to provide two things: a list of RPC calls for the server being tested, and a
set of invariants that are required to hold over the RPC communications trace between a set of clients
and the server. The technique works by generating random sequences of RPC calls and checking that
the invariants holds over the traces. If an invariant is violated, the violating sequence of RPC calls is
reported to the user. We report the results of our testing a block server and a lock server

Challenges in Test Automation

This paper deals various challenges in test automation. In real time, test automation is bit more
challenge to achieve 100% road map of customer�s expectation. The customer stands on test
automation should be increase regression test coverage within a small time but the actual
returns of investment and implication difficulties makes customer disappointment in the
industry. The reason behind the scenario is lack of awareness about the tools, process and etc.
My experience says about what actually happening in the industry and how to mitigate such
kind of problems. Every one knows that Test Automation swallows considerable budgets and
efforts. This presentation takes you how to get good returns by adopting good practices in terms
of development of scripts, maintenance and execution. All the lessons that I have experienced
would be help full the world of test automation projects to avoid the issues and confusions. Here
I furnished the lessons learnt experiences under the following topics.

Getting Started Guide for IBM Rational Robot

This roadmap provides an outline of the material that is most useful to bring users up the
Rational Robot learning curve for functional testing. The emphasis will be on the steps
you will need to take to understand Robot and get to the point where you can efficiently
use the tool for functional testing. First, find the section that best describes your current
learning challenge with Robot. Then study the material in that section to help advance
you to the next level.

Rational Robot Quick Start Guide

Welcome to the Rational Robot Quick Start Guide. This guide has been provided to allow you
to get up and running with the toolset as quick as possible and ensure that you see the
benefit of Test Automation from the outset

MERCURY WINRUNNER

Mercury WinRunner�
is the standard functional testing solution for enterprise IT
applications. It captures, verifies, and replays user interactions automatically, so
you can identify defects and ensure that business processes work as designed

WinRunner Tutorial

The tutorial is divided into 12 short lessons. In each lesson you will create and run
tests on the sample Flight Reservation application (Flight 1A and Flight 1B)
located in your WinRunner program group.
The sample Flight Reservation application comes in two versions: Flight 1A and
Flight 1B. Flight 1A is a fully working product, while Flight 1B has some �bugs�
built into it. These versions are used together in the WinRunner tutorial to simulate
the development process, in which the performance of one version of an
application is compared with that of another.
After completing the tutorial, you can apply the skills you learned to your own
application
