Component Testing Essentials: Your Comprehensive FAQ Guideđź“‘
What is Component Testing?
Component Testing refers to the practice of dividing complex projects into smaller components, such as API, Mobile, Desktop, and Web, for more efficient and rapid error identification and testing.
How does Component Testing help in identifying errors more efficiently?
By breaking down a project into smaller components, Component Testing allows you to focus on specific sections, making it easier to pinpoint errors and issues within those components.
What roles are there within a project in Component Testing?
There are three roles: Designer, Reviewer, and Tester. - Designers design and test components but can't approve them for testing. - Reviewers design, test, and approve components for testing. - Testers exclusively focus on testing approved components.
What is the purpose of the Setup button in Component Testing?
The Setup button is used to configure prerequisites for creating and running components, including device pools, file management, database configuration, and global variables.
What is the purpose of Global Variables in Component Testing?
Global variables allow for easier test maintenance by providing reusable values across tests. They are accessible for use in any test within the project.
How can components be created in Component Testing?
Components can be created manually or imported from other services. Manual creation involves designing components from the ground up, while importing allows using scripts from Web, Mobility, or Desktop services.
Can "Desktop" components be manually created in Component Testing?
No, at present, components for the "Desktop" service cannot be manually created in Component Testing. They are reserved for verifying imported scripts only.
Can imported desktop scripts be modified in Component Testing?
No, imported desktop scripts cannot be modified. They are automatically approved and can be used as they are.
What options are available for test building in Component Testing?
The Test page provides tools for creating new tests, viewing existing tests, executing or scheduling tests, cloning tests, integrating with Xray, accessing reports, and managing scheduled tests.
How can components be linked to test the entire workflow in Component Testing?
Components can be added from the left menu, connected by dragging and dropping link connections between them, and managed using options like Delete, Clear, and Reset View.
What options are available for executing tests in Component Testing?
There are two approaches for executing tests: Scheduled Runs and Normal Runs. Scheduled Runs automate test executions based on a schedule, while Normal Runs are manual executions for immediate insights.
How can users access test execution reports in Component Testing?
Test execution reports can be accessed by clicking on the Report button on the Test Page. Detailed reports provide insights into test executions, including screenshots, expected and actual results, and more.
Please note that the questions and answers provided are based on the information you provided in the overview. You can tailor them to your specific needs and add more questions based on the detailed information in the overview.
How does Component Testing handle API testing?
Component Testing supports REST and SOAP APIs. APIs can be imported via Swagger URL, Swagger JSON file, or created manually. It also offers a JSON Path Extractor for extracting data.
Can you explain the purpose of the "Extractor" feature in Component Testing?
The "Extractor" feature allows precise extraction of JSON Path or XPath data when needed, ensuring accurate capture of information and leading to more reliable test results.
What is the significance of the "Parameterization" feature in Component Testing?
The "Parameterization" feature is used when tests require multiple iterations or dynamic input. It enables users to test various scenarios by adjusting parameter values and uploading updated files.
What does the "Xray Integration" feature offer in Component Testing?
The "Xray Integration" feature allows seamless linking of tests to Xray for enhanced test management and tracking, contributing to efficient test workflow.
How do "Scheduled Runs" differ from "Normal Runs" in Component Testing?
"Scheduled Runs" automate test executions based on a predetermined schedule, reducing manual intervention. In contrast, "Normal Runs" are manual executions that provide immediate insights into component performance.
Can multiple components be linked to a single component in the Component Linking page?
No, it is not recommended to link multiple components to a single component in the Component Linking page. Doing so can lead to scripts repeating within the test section, causing issues. To prevent this, components should be linked in a designated sequence, following the intended workflow. Utilizing the "Data Handlers" feature can further assist in passing data between components as needed, ensuring accurate and efficient testing.
What happens if a user makes changes to a component and uses the "Update Component in Test" option, and the same component is used in multiple tests?
If a component that has undergone changes is selected for updating within tests using the "Update Component in Test" feature, all instances of that component across the relevant tests will be automatically updated. This streamlines the process of propagating changes consistently throughout the tests without requiring manual adjustments for each individual instance.
Can I use shared pool devices in the Component service?
No, you won't be able to see shared pool devices within the Component service's device pool. This choice is based on the idea that only dedicated devices are shown here. The Component service is an extension of Web, Mobile, and API services, meant for users who have both mobility service and another service. The aim is to keep things aligned with the service's purpose and ensure that dedicated devices are the focus.
