What is Web Functional Testing ?

Web Functional Testing verifies that a web application does what it is supposed to do i.e., the functions work properly under both valid and invalid conditions.

What Does Web Functional Test Offer ?

AdventNet QEngine Web Functional Test tool provides an easy-to-use Web UI to quickly test the functionality of your web sites and web-based applications using the Record and Playback capability in both Linux and Windows platforms. You can record and playback the user actions in web pages and also verify the data.

To know the features of QEngine Web Functional Test tool, please refer to the feature matrix.

How to Test using QEngine?

QEngine Web Functional Testing is a simple "Record and Playback" operation. You can test your web application by recording the user actions and replaying it when needed. Testing can be done in 3 simple steps:

• Step 1: Creating Test Scripts

• Step 2: Running Test Scripts

• Step 3: Analyzing Test Results

Many other options are available that will help you in dealing with complex web testing. Also, some configuration and customization options are available. Some are optional which can be performed based on specific requirements and some are mandatory. Follow the below given links to develop webscripts and test your Web pages:
 

Step1: Creating Test Scripts

Creating test scripts includes the following steps:

1. Recording User Actions (Mandatory)

2. Adding Checkpoints or Testcases (Optional)

3. Adding Built-in Functions (Optional)

4. Editing GUI Map File (Optional)

5. Fetching Multiple Values from CSV/Database (Optional)

6. Adding Global Variables or Programming Constructs  (Optional)

7. Calling one script from another  (Optional)

Step2: Running Test Scripts

Once you create the test scripts, the next step is to run the test scripts which includes the following options:

• Setting RunTime Options

• Executing a Single Script

• Executing From a Selected Line

• Executing Upto a Selected Line

• Executing in Step Mode

• Updating Test Scripts

• Executing the Entire Script

• Executing From Command Line

• Handling Exceptions

Step3: Analyzing Test Results

The final step is to analyze the test results which is the most important part of functional testing that  is used to identify the functionality breakages in your web page. When you run a functional test case, HTML-based reports are generated to indicate the status of the test execution. Reports includes Script Summary Report, Script Report, Testcase Report and PageProperty report. Hyperlinks allow easy navigation through the report. This helps you to quickly identify application failures and clearly assess application quality.
