Hello Christian,

yes, you can access COM servers from a QF-Test 'Server script' node. To
this end, you need a bridge from Java to COM. Probably the easiest way is
using the Groovy Scriptom module, cf.

 <http://groovy.codehaus.org/COM+Scripting>.

To make it work with QF-Test, download the scriptom zip archive and copy
the scriptom-xxx.jar file into the

 .../qftest/plugin/qftest

folder in your QF-Test installation. The corresponding scriptom-xxx.dll (32
or 64 bit) must reside somewhere on the PATH (e.g. c:\windows\system32).
Now you can for example create an instance of the "WScript.Shell" COM
object and invoke its methods in a Groovy 'Server script':


   import org.codehaus.groovy.scriptom.*

   Scriptom.inApartment
   {
       def wshell = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell')
       wshell.Popup('Scriptom is groovy')
   }


By the way, you could also do your COM automation outside QF-Test, for
example in a VB script which can be executed via

 +Execute shell command

Please refer to

for further information.


Best regards,
   Robert

Hello,

I need to test an JAVA Application on Windows. Involved in the test is a
other Windows application. This application has a COM-Server and can be
automated via COM.

Question: Is it possible with QFS, for example from the Jython Script to
access the COM-Interface of windows applications?
If so, can someone provide an example?
