Test Program Object
Abstract
Test Object Type "Program" executes any type of program, batch, built-in program or GUI test recorded by a GUI Test Tool like Ranorex®. With this test object the engineer usually develops the pre- and post-condition tests for a data comparison. The integrated console does show the communication between the plug-in or the externally invoked program. The results are shown as passed/failed to indicate whether or not the execution was successful. The parameters from the environment definition and from the parameter list are used to transfer data/information to the internal and external programs.
