along similar lines, I've been experimenting w/ using xsl and data xml to populate a web based system w/ testing data. (e.g. from a list of members use the 'register new members' interface to populate the system w/ 20 members)

I've had one issue so far getting xsl to generate the ant properties..i.e. xsl needed escaped braces..i.e.

example (from xsl file): <setinputfield stepid="set password" name="password" value="${{login.ok.password}}" />

I worked around it w/a separate ant target to copy all copy/replace all my modules and includes and escape the braces..

Is anyone else doing something like this?

any recommendations?

thanks,

bill

Hi!

Check out the <ant> tag ;). Theres an example called AllLanguagesTestSuite.xml on http://webtest.canoo.com/webtest/manual/samples.html#5

Although in this case a test suite is mentioned - u can also try it out for a test case. The idea is to pass properties from outside - just like you would do in a subroutine. ;)

cheers! Aatish

Hi,

If I have several tests that are very similar, but differ just a little bit, then is there a way to extract the common things into a subroutine?

For example, If I have two testcases, the testcases are navigating upto a page and verifying a table on thege. On one page the table's data starts at first column, while on the other data starts at line 2. The data is exactly the same, but the lines are displaced by 1 lets say. Is there a way to extract the table verification as a subroutine and pass it a parameter that specifies which line the table starts from or something similar to that?

Thanks, Hetal
