Advanced Testing with SilkTest

Classroom - four days, onsite - four days

For the serious SilkTest user who needs to tackle the objectoriented benefits of the 4Test language. In this course, you'll receive step-by-step instruction on how to: declare new window classes; store test data within object declarations; write new methods and verification properties; test nonstandard (custom) objects; develop an API for supporting custom objects; access unseen objects using low-level events; and test Java and Visual Basic objects. Attend this course to maximize your use of the 4Test language within four days.

Who Should Attend

QA developers and project leaders who want to maximize their automated testing abilities.

Prerequisites

Course participants must be able to:

• Employ all standard SilkTest functionality covered within the Verification Testing with SilkTest course

• Read and write 4Test functions and constructs

Skills Gained

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Enhance window declarations and associate test data directly with object declarations
• Create and use user-defined classes, methods, and verification properties
• Develop APIs and services for custom objects such as Grids and TreeViews
• Map custom classes to known 4Test classes
• Declare unseen objects by their relative or absolute location
• Use secondary visual clues to assist in testing graphical custom objects
• Drive applications with low-level mouse and key events
• Create user-defined methods for custom objects and classes to enhance their testability
• Call C functions using DLL calls
• Configure Visual Basic and Java environments and hook into external code
• Test Java and OLE objects by accessing their native methods and properties
