After you have created steps for a manual test, you can generate a test script skeleton in which you can write scripts to run the test as an automated test.
Note:
-
You can generate an automated test before designing test steps, or by selecting an automated test type when you create the test.
-
For considerations on whether or not to automate a test, see Test Automation.
-
For a list of automated test types, see Test Types.
To generate an automated test:
In the Design Steps tab, click Generate Script
and choose an automated test type to which to convert.
Any text that appeared in the steps of the manual test is listed as comments in the generated test script. If the manual test has parameters, they are also listed as comment text.
Example: In the flight reservation application, you can automate a test that checks whether the login mechanism works. After adding test steps, you create a test script. Then, using Unified Functional Testing GUI tests, you complete the automated test script.
