actiWATE: Tutorial

Writing tests

In order to create a new test, you need to create a new actiWATE test class or add a new test method to an existing actiWATE test class. The following instructions demonstrate how to develop actiWATE test. The sample test creates a new user using the form at http://www.actiwate.com/samples/livetestcase and verifies that the user is successfully created.

Import required actiWATE classes and packages. In our case a single ActiwateTestCase class would suffice. Create a test class with a test method.

import com.actimind.actiwate.testing.ActiwateTestCase;

public class CreateUserTestCase extends ActiwateTestCase
{
    public void testCreateUser()
    {
        ...
    }
}

Write the code that opens initial HTML page. Tests can use relative URLs. Base URL is specified in configuration file (see Configuration file).
```
goTo("livetestcase");
```

Write the code that fills out the form fields.

setText(textField("username"), "jsmith");
setText(passwordField("password1"), "123456");
setText(passwordField("password2"), "123456");
setText(textField("firstname"), "John");
setText(textField("lastname"), "Smith");

selectOption(singleSelect("month").optionByText("May"));
selectOption(singleSelect("day").optionByText("28"));
selectOption(singleSelect("year").optionByText("1977"));

click(radioButton("gender", 0));

Write the code that submits the form. Before the form submission the page shows confirmation dialog. Therefore prior to clicking the button test have to call the expectConfirm() method.
```
expectConfirm("Do you want to create user 'jsmith' ?", PRESS_OK);
click(buttonByText("Create User"));
```

Write the code that verifies whether the user is successfully created.

assertTitleEquals("actiWATE - Sample Form - Success");
assertTextPresent("User has been successfully created");
