 |
|
| Quote: | Automated software testing with Ranorex
Ranorex is a Windows GUI test and automation Library for C++, Python and for the .Net languages. Ranorex doesn't have a scripting language of its own like other test tools. The user (e.g. the software tester) should use the functionalities of the powerful programming languages like Python or C # as a base, and enlarge it with the GUI automation functionality of Ranorex.
Use our software automation tool to control your Windows GUI Applications. Apply Ranorex for effective software tests to guarantee your software quality. Make small automated scripts for repeated actions. Embed our automation library in your software project to be able to run automated GUI operations. Ranorex is able to access all elements in a windows application or web page.
Ranorex works with Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista.
Ranorex is Freeware. You may use this software for free as long as you want.

That is absolutely fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I suggest everybody to download Ranorex and to try sample applications and see the docs.
I know just one thing: I start to learn Python today

Basically, it seems to be a good idea... Lot of people say it is a fine language.
I want to learn since a long time, but never took time to loop deeply inside.
BoBo, this is a good finding. This is not the first test automation tool, but these are rarely free... Looks like a serious concurrent of AutoHotkey... and AutoIt!

Yeah, I heard good stories about it to, from very respectable programmers.

My thought too.
Looks like your LUA idea is here, just with Python.
This is sample script from documentation:

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"""CalcTest1-de.py -- demonstrates automated GUI testing of calc.exe with Ranorex
(german OS version)
Usage: CalcTest1-de [sleeptime]
sleeptime ... Integer value between 1 and 10000, indicating the interval (in milliseconds) you want the
script process to be inactive between the commands (default=500).
CalcTest1-de.py demonstrates searching of forms, finding of controls by name and
clicking of buttons

A Lua binding can be done easily too... It is just some work.

Lets hope this is true

Thank you for your suggestion, it seems to be a very good idea.
We will discuss it for a feature release.

Subject: ranorex suggestion
Hi there.
I am wondering is it fesible to support hotkeys in ranorex. I know it is off-topic when automatition is in question in the core sense, but in practice it is extremely useful as proved by AutoHotKey project. AutoIt droped easy usage of hotkeys and bunch of users changed to AHK becaues of this (among other reasons)
In Ahk u can define whatever you like for hotkeys, not only ctrl shift alt combinations.
So you can for instance create handler for a+b. The syntax is very cool:
a&b::
WinGetActive ...
WinSetTitle ...
Click ...
return
or
MButton::AltTabMenu
It would be really nice to add such support natively in Renorax. Such thing can be done via system hooks, and also AHK is open source if you want to chek it out.
Thx for your time
Miodrag

Ugh, they top-posted! 
A: Because it is hard to read!
Q: Why top-posting is bad?
You are learning Python, you are suggesting missing features, I feel what majkinetor messages will become very rare in this forum...

|
|
| Try RanorexSpy.exe. Note that, since all Mozilla products use a non-standard way of windowing, Ranorex cannot get the IDs of controls, and so cannot be used with Mozilla products and others like them. |

Nor anyhting else designed to be used with native Win controls.
Whats true with Mozzila, is true for IE and Opera too.

Not exactly for IE, as you can access the address bar, read the alert() message boxes, and so on.
Anyway, it is true for all portable frameworks drawing their components instead of using Windows' native ones, unless they choose to emulate them, eg. by answering specific messages.
So most Java programs, Gtk+ programs, Rebol ones, and so on, are hard to script: you have to rely on keyboard interface, ImageSearch, and so on.

You can read AB in Opera too (don't know about Mozzilla)
The fact that you can accutally read 2 or 3 controls doesn't mean anything, but just proves the point.
