Starting the Application

Our first step is to examine the "Setup" node:

  • ActionExpand the Setup: Start Demo node now.
Figure 19.3:  The Setup Node

In the "Setup" node you'll see two child Sequence nodes:

  • Set variable - set the variable 'client' to the connection name for the SUT, which will be needed for every action replayed to the application.
  • Sequence: Start client if necessary - starts the System Under Test (SUT) in case it is not already running.

Let's also have a brief look inside the Sequence: Start client if necessary:

Figure 19.4:  The Sequence to start the SUT

First you see a "Wait for client" node to double-check whether the client is already running. Only if it is not, it will be started.

The Start Windows client node starts the application (SUT) and sets up a link between qftest and the SUT. In order to be independent of the actual installation we use a relative path, starting from the QF-Test version directory, contained in the QF-Test variable ${qftest:dir.version} (see manual chapter Variables).

At this point, we're ready to actually start the SUT:

  • ActionClick on the SetupSetup: Start Demo" so it is selected and still expanded (the child nodes stay visible).
  • Click the PlayStart test run toolbar button. This button causes the selected node to be executed.

During execution QF-Test marks the active step by use of an arrow pointer ->.

When the setup sequence is completed, our demo application "CarConfiguratorNet Form" is going to appear on the screen. As QF-Test gets back the focus after the replay action, thus being raised to the foreground, the demo application might be hiding behind it.
