Ultimate Testing Tool!

Post by myleow »

A few years ago i remember reading about a testing environment where the product description is parsed into XML and that in turn can generate test scripts to test the product.

Does anyone have any idea what this or what is the best QA tool that you have used. This is for testing Web base applications.

Thank you in advance.

Product description to tests? :? product descriptions are full of business language that are quite contextual and some are time specific. Sounds kinda like vapour. I'm not saying it doesn't exist or couldn't.. more like why? Feels weird.

There is an extension for Firefox TestGen4Web which can track navigation on a website and generate tests (eg: simpletest) for you...

I still have to try it, but at first sight it seems like something usable.

Used that... it's been nothing but a glitch. I use selenium (with selenium recorder), makes acceptance testing a breeze...
