Getting Started
#1: TestArchitect - Install the TestArchitect Build and Write your First Test
Register a free account and download the latest build from (testarchitect.com). You then can automate your tests using TestArchitect at no cost.
#2: TestArchitect - A Guide to Write your First Automation Test for Web Application
Create your first automated test using the sample web application. In this lesson, you will learn how to capture web-based application elements using TestArchitect's Web Interface Viewer and then execute the automated test.
#3: Create a project
Create a TestArchitect repository, the database which stores your projects. Following that, create a project to hold your test assets.
#4: Create a test module
Establish a simple test case. Then create a test module to house that test case, and learn the functional sections of a well-structured test module.
#5: Map the user interface
Explore the concept of interface mapping, in which user interface objects are identified by their properties. Then use TestArchitect's Interface Viewer to capture the UI objects you need, assign logical names to those objects, and store your mappings in interface entities.
#6: Author the test
Populate your test module with the action lines needed to automate your test case. And explore how to accelerate test authoring with the editor's Content Assist toolset.
#7: Run the test & review the results
Execute your test, and view the results that TestArchitect reports, including moment-by-moment screenshots of the target application during the test.
#8: Create a user-defined action
With no change in functionality, encapsulate your system-level action lines into a user-defined action, for purposes of reusability, readability, and proper Action-Based Testing design. Parameterize your new action to maximize its reusability.
Becoming a Power User
#1: Data Driven Testing
Creating keyword tests for executing Data Driven Testing.
#2: Using an Automation Harness
Running tests with an automation harness for project requirements that cannot be addressed using built-in actions.
#3: Action Recorder
Generate tests automatically by allowing TestArchitect to monitor your manual interactions with the AUT and record them as action lines.
