This article describes how to use the Ranorex Studio IDE and the Ranorex API for test automation in your behavior-driven development (BDD) process. BDD requires a cognitive shift: instead of thinking about testing functions, you are now thinking about behaviors....
Manage regression tests at the “model level” for maximum efficiency
Learn how model-based testing can save time and help avoid ever-increasing numbers of tests
when it comes to maintenance.
Imagine these were your test variation ideas before a new system release
From release-to-release, functionality of systems will change.
The next release will bring multiple changes to the System Under Test:
If you’re managing tests individually, you face 3 problems:
Using DesignWise solves all 3 of these problems within a few seconds!
The number of DesignWise-generated tests will slightly increase between releases
Even though there are more than 10,00 possible additional tests in Release 8, DesignWise only requires 3 more test to achieve pairwise coverage
And check out what happens to required tests and total possible tests if Release 9 adds a few new features…
Limitations to be aware of
Optimized test generation tools like DesignWise will create entirely new test sets each time you modify test inputs. You’ll have entirely new tests for each release. That can cause problems if you need to spend a significant amount of time to redefine your Expected Results for each and every (brand new) test in every release.
For that reason, you should strongly consider using the Auto-Scripts feature of DesignWise and systematically-generate Expected Results.
DesignWise’s Auto-scripting feature allows you to quickly include detailed tester instructions for test scripts.
DesignWise’s Expected Results feature allows you to save time by systematically calculating Expected Results for your test scripts.
