ui test automation

[newpcraft]

goal

• test automation for eclipse swt(even jface)
• headless test supports through jenkins (if possible)

[newpcraft]

I just pushed a test project here due to how we add ui test code for a cubrid manager client, however, it is just scratches for demo which means that I'm not sure whether or not it works for all environment. Yes, that's just my private scratches.

prerequisite

• install required plugins in your eclipse: https://github.com/CUBRID/cubrid-manager/wiki/How-to-run-CUBRID-Manager-on-Eclipse
• install swtbot framework in your eclipse: http://wiki.eclipse.org/SWTBot/Releases#SWTBot_2.1.0 , you should install swtbot 2.1.0 on the indigo version of eclipse otherwise you may see a failure message during installation step.
• install proper version of CUBRID which you need testing in your pc

manager password

In above test, it should require a cubrid server with the demodb that didn't be changed a password of admin on the cubrid manager server. In order to test successfully, you should rolling back the password of the cubrid manager, so you can refer the following article how to replace with default cubrid manager password.

http://www.cubrid.org/wiki_tools/entry/how-to-reset-admin-password-for-cubrid-manager

Simply, you have only to replace a password with admin:6e85f0f80f030451dc9e98851098dfb2 in $CUBRID/conf/cm.pass file.

demodb should be stopped before testing

As well as you also should stop a demodb server before you run this test using the following command.

cubrid server stop demodb

headless test

I'm still investigating how make it sure testing through headless fashion through swtbot. However, as I knew that it may also work under headless of swtbot if we make it sure qualified tests cases by swtbot framework.

recorder

Swtbot also provides test code generator however you may unsatisfied a result from the generator which means you also need to write your test codes manually(however quite helpful sometime).
