QuickStart Manual Testing
Welcome to the Test Modeller QuickStart Manual Testing Tutorial series. In this series, we are going to take you through Getting started, Modelling out combinations, Generating & Running test cases and Publishing a test suite all for Manual Testing.
Watch the 2 tutorials to guide you in using QuickStart Manual Testing in Test Modeller.
Business Flow
While many of our QuickStart Tutorials focus on Automation, here, Mark Chassy, Solutions Architect at Curiosity Software, demonstrates how to manually Model out at a high level a Business Flow.
Using Test Modeller you see how sub-processes are created quickly and using the Explorer file manager it’s easy to rearrange these into a folder hierarchy to suit your project structure.
Taking one of the business sub-processes (we refer to them in the tool as Subflow) you see the start and end points make reference to their position in the high level flow. But also to avoid specificity, it’s possible to rename these generically as start and end.
Scenario Variations
Here, Mark Chassy, demonstrates ways to Model variations of a high level scenario. Making use of the Subflows (typically seen in a model as business sub-processes) created in the first clip, Mark suggests the typical but also atypical ways an end user may navigate a system.
Data can also be injected into the model, but this demonstration is simply to verify how to model a high business flow and identify any associated variations.
Both successful criteria and failed outcomes need to be considered and this is achieved using various endpoints, and labelled them as valid and invalid. This clip follows a first segment about the Modelling out a high level Business Flow.
Test Modeller is Curiosity's flow-driven model-based tool which provides a range of accelerators and connectors for building flowcharts rapidly. This includes importers for existing requirements and test cases, as well as recordings and scans of already built systems. These accelerators are designed to significantly reduce the time and technical knowledge needed to model complex systems, unlocking the value of model-based test automation.
Modelling or modelling systems or functions is the main function of Test Modeller. Modelling or system modelling is the use of models to conceptualize and construct systems in business and IT development. A common type of systems modelling is function modelling, with specific techniques such as the Functional Flow Block Diagram and BPMN Diagrams.
A Model is a canvas and the Flow that is built onto it. There are several types of Model, some of which display different tabs and tools on the toolbar in Test Modeller.
The Explorer section of Test Modeller is the main location for finding all your models, data sheets, scans and variables. This will be the main view you use in Test Modeller and where you create new models and edit existing ones.
Subflows are used to quickly embed and re-use models within a master model. Subflows hide detailed or complex modelling and make the master Flow more readable. They enable scalability by building out the complexity from smaller, more step-focussed Models, rather than building giant, complex, inflexible Flows.
