5.1 Introduction to QuickStart (Framework) Tutorials

1. See an overview of our 5 main automation frameworks: Web, API, Mobile, Dynamics 365 and Mainframe.

2. Get started with the QuickStart Tutorials sign up for a 2-week TestModeller.io.

3. Access the QuickStart tutorials via the links in the description below.

5.2 Overlaying Test Automation

1. Use QuickStart Web, based on Java Selenium.

2. Where best to overlay automation and the techniques for getting automation assets onto the model.

3. See an Automation Reference used on a waypoint ‘Open URL’.

4. See how to apply a Test Data Variable and its parameters.

5. Build a model from using assets imported via the Project Explorer pane.

6. See how to out automation manually in advance for taking an automation reference from a list.

5.3 Code Templates

1. Code Templates in relation to an automation framework.

2. Publish the generated automation assets to a CICD pipeline.

3. Use the Project Configuration wizard to select a pre-defined QuickStart framework.

4. Identify age Objects which generate classes.

5. Identify Test Case Templates which descriptively generates test scripts.

5.4 Custom Code Snippets

1. Use importers to quickly populate Test Modeller with automation and classes that may already exist.

2. See how Code Templates can also be directly imported from a Git repository, and Custom Code Snippets.

3. Identify a requirement for a Sleep or Wait function, better created as a custom function.

4. Use of the Code Editor where you’ll be able to paste any code for embedding in any models.

5. See that importers including Swagger Specification can be used to import and bring in specific code.

6. Import a zip file containing existing page objects.

5.5 Code Generation and Execution

1. Learn how a pre-built automation model can be used to create and run automation scripts.

2. Use the Run button in the Scenarios pane.

3. Use the Automation Code export in the Run wizard.

4. Refer to an automation model for a HR system and its Subprocesses.

5. Use Waypoint blocks to include automation such as Go to page and Positive Enter username.

6. Use advanced settings in the Scenarios pane and manage where and how to see results.

7. Identify Source Control which relates to whichever repository you’re committing to.

8. Identify Test Data either fetched from an external source like SQL Server database or an excel spreadsheet.

9. Execute a job using the web automation to see what’s Passed and what’s Failed.

10. Navigate to Workspace > Configuration to see pre-defined features including Directory (setting target machine), Command (for triggering a batch file).
