The Challenges
ArisGlobal started test automation with one of the leading commercial tools. Due to limitations in supporting automation for their products, they moved to an in-house test automation framework based on Watij and Selenium.
Existing testing tool had no record and play back feature. Secondly, there were no available relative APIs.
Thirdly, complex conditional automation could not be automated as the tool used did not support scripting.
Lastly, maintaining an object repository was mandatory. This was a major effort for maintenance.
The Solution
Based on business requirement for rapid test automation, ArisGlobal decided to use Sahi Pro. The record and playback feature, along with the keyword and data driven test support in Sahi Pro, was used by ArisGlobal to its advantage.
ArisGlobal used Sahi Pro for functional testing including testing of speci_c functionality for ArisGlobal products. ArisGlobal also used Sahi Pro for integration testing and user acceptance testing. The web technologies that were used included:
JSP | JSF | HTML | HTML5 | ExtJS | .NET
