[Openroad-users] automated testing tools for OpenROAD applications

[Pete Rabjohns]

Testing the gui with openroad is problematic, because even with the -realfields option, openroad does not give fields a sufficiently unique name to fields to allow automated test tools to be able to find them. We tested this with testcomplete and the only way of driving the gui (without using mouse position) was to script the field positions in a mapping file-anyway it proved to be to un-manageable.

The method we have adopted now is to ignore the gui and by ensuring our core business functionality is available through the application server, we can drive this automatically via a number of tools.

If you expose these functions as web services, then there are a number of tools which provide good functionality for automated testing. 

It would certainly be an open source project that we would be interested in to improve openroads support for automated testing via the gui. 

Just a few thoughts.. Hope it helps..

Does anyone have experience using automated testing tools with OpenROAD
applications? Looking for suggestions on the type of tools that would
work with OR or even better, specific tools that you may have had
success (or failure) with.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Dan
