actiWATE: Tutorial

Introduction

actiWATE is a software platform for automation of regression testing of web applications. actiWATE consists of actiWATE Framework and additional modules. Currently only one module is released - actiWATE TWA.

Framework is a Java-based library. Automated tests use this library for interacting with web application. actiWATE executes tests without real Internet browser; instead actiWATE Framework emulates Internet browser on its own.

TWA is MS Internet Explorer plug-in, which facilitates automation of test creation and modification process.

actiWATE tests are fully compatible with JUnit and can be run by any JUnit tests runner. If you are not familiar with JUnit we recommend you visiting http://www.junit.org/.

This document describes how to automate testing of a web application using actiWATE. Getting started section describes initial steps that you need to perform in order to run first actiWATE test. Sections actiWATE Framework and actiWATE TWA describe in more details how to use two components of actiWATE.
