Lightweight Test Automation Framework

Commented Issue: WebTestConsole.Write doesn't work for me [3]

Hoosier121 — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 22:48:57 GMT

I've tried using WebTestConsole.Write() to add additional info to the console and nothing shows up but the standard logs. Any ideas?
Comments: The WebTestConsole.Write() is working for me now. I'm not sure why it wasn't initially, but glad to see. Maybe it was a browser cache issue??

1. Download http://ltaf.codeplex.com/downloads/get/364310 and extract.

2. Open LTAF.sln in the root directory.

3. Expand the samples solution folder, right click SampleWebSite, select Set As StartUp Project.

4. Hit F5. The website will launch in IE.

5. Navigate to /SampleWebSite/Test/Default.aspx

6. Click Run Tests button.

All of the tests that you see can be found in SampleWebSite/App_Code/Tests. You can create a new test by adding a method to one of the test classes and decorating it with the WebTestMethod attribute.

New Post: How to run tests against another site. (Stand alone test project)

Roheryn — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 14:07:02 GMT

Is it possible to build a stand alone test project not tied with the application code base.

I am trying to build tests in the QA environment and run them against production website.

Is there an example which launches and performs action on some site (a login to gmail) with LTAF 2.0 ?

New Post: Passing Dynamic Parameters to Tests

mattmorg55 — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 13:50:01 GMT

I would like to run multiple instances of my tests concurrently. Either different threads on the same machine, or on different machines. I would like to pass parameters like username and password into my test methods ... or have the test methods access them somehow. I am using the LTAFRunner to run my tests from the command line. I would like different instances to run under different user profiles(usernames).

Has anyone done this? Any suggestions?

Thanks to the team for a very useful project.

Created Issue: About top mock [2]

chsword — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 07:24:39 GMT

In my test page ,there is the js code like this:

if (top && top.location.toString().indexOf("string1") < 0) {
top.window.location = '/Home';
}

But in this scene I think the "top" will instead of "frame".

Comments: please close this issue. just realized this test framework is designed to run "within" an asp.net application.

Intro

Releases

LTAF v1.0. Was released in November 2009 at ASP.NET QA codeplex page and had pretty good audience. Please check page for LTAF v1.0 for more details or small samples document displaying simplest use cases.

LTAF v2.0 (this release). Starting this release LTAF becomes fully open source (as opposed to the first version) and everyone can contribute and help this project to evolve. New features in LTAF v2.0:
- Refactoring of the solution structure and change of the naming convention for assemblies and namespaces. Previously LTAF v1.0 was still owned my ASP.NET QA and had Microsoft.Web.Testing in assembly and namespace names. Now, when it is completely open source, we decided that it is a good time to substitute Microsoft.Web.Testing with shorter and more convenient name LTAF.
- New feature BrowserEmulator was added. BrowserEmulator is a lightweight UI-less browser that is suitable for simple scenarios and is very handy for automated test execution when NO UI is a requirement.
- Bug fixes.
- LTAF NuGet package was added to common NuGet feed, check this page for package details.

Get Started

To get started, download latest suggested release and check out SamplesWebSIte, which is similar to the samples web site of version v1.0 (in meanwhile while documentation for LTAF v2.0 is being developed, please check out samples document for LTAF v1.0).

More detailed documentation is still being developed and will be added to codeplex project Documentation tab along the way. However contributors are very welcome to suggest any ideas or samples.

Get Involved

Detailed document for contributor is under development. In meanwhile, you are welcome to pull existing sources and propose your feature or changes. However, before anything may be checked in you change should be discussed, approved and should pass code review by one of the coordinators. Please feel free to start discussion or post your ideas!

Released: Lightweight Test Automation Framework (LTAF) v2.0 (Apr 03, 2012)

Wed, 04 Apr 2012 03:42:59 GMT

The Lightweight Test Automation Framework (LTAF) for ASP.NET is an open source project that was developed and is currently used by the ASP.NET QA Team to automate regression tests for the product. It is designed to run within an ASP.NET application.
Tests can be written in any .NET Framework language. Tests use an API to manipulate and verify the DOM of the browser. The Lightweight Test Automation Framework supports running tests in Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Opera. In addition, LTAF provides an emulated UI-less version of the browser, that simplifies scenarios when LTAF tests live in some larger automated tests projects, unit tests for example.

This release contains two downloads. One download contains the source code and unit tests for the automation framework. It also includes a sample Web site that demonstrates how to use the test framework and some helpful tools. The second download contains only the sample Web site. Use this download if you want only the compiled binaries and do not need the source code and unit tests.
