[Openroad-users] FW: automated testing tools for OpenROADapplications

[Paul Andrews]

I've always been sceptical of automated testing of GUI tools. Do they really repay the effort required to get them to work with your application?

  Dan,

   

  We are currently using IBM Rational Robot to do regression testing of our OpenROAD application. Although it doesn't recognise some of the OpenROAD fields (I'm yet to raise a call with IBM), you can use a bitmap comparison which works well for exact match comparisons (you don't have to worry about floating frame position because it uses relative positioning). I noticed it has a built-in OCR tool which you may be able to use for relative comparisons (I haven't tried this yet).

   

  You can download an evaluation copy off the IBM Rational website. I would suggest going through the tutorial to get you started.

   

  Regards,

  Steve

  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
