TestGen4Web update 1.0.0

I am excited to announce testgen4web 1.0.0
This is a great release with lots of new features.

Download here: http://developer.spikesource.com/frs/?group_id=14&release_id=107

Note: I have tested this on only firefox 3 - Please let me know if you need a firefox 2 version, and it can be tested there too!

Here are the list of features:

New features added:


  1. brand new shiny editor: All new editor with easy to use interface. Much more simplified from the previous versions of the editor. See screenshot!.

    New features include:


    • Nicer editing featues

    • Shows status of the current step when running the recording by adding a >> at the begining of the step in the editor

    • "Run Status" tab on the right pane of the editor shows the status of the player/recorder, status of the datasets and variables

    • "Debug" tab provides easy way to run javascript on the page, build a xpath and try it out before running the actual command

  2. execute-js action: execute random javascript during execution of the script. This would help developers work around some quirks of firefox and testgen4web. eg: http://developer.spikesource.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=865

  3. assert-text with xpath: this action until now was pretty much ignored. Now the user has an option to select where to assert the text. There are 2 ways

    • * as xpath will search the entire page

    • specify an actual xpath will search in that area


  4. detachable bar: you don't have to be thethered to the main window anymore. detach the testgen4web toolbar and keep it on the side for editing long recordings easily. detach.gif

  5. Simple xpath support: Now you can record with simple xpath. This xpath generating script will be complete xpath (NOTE: that your recording might break if simple things on your webpagee changes. I would still recommend that you use the 'smart xpath' option.
