Design And Realization Of Content Engine's Automated Testing Based On Task Driven

Software has played more and more important role since the computer occur, the concept of software testing comes along with it. We manually test software by our hands at the early time, which is, time consuming, laborious, expensive, and can not guarantee the quality of software quality to meet the requirements of software users. Automated testing, the follower, fills the lack of manual testing. Automated software testing avoids manual intervention in the testing project, make the test case to perform more accurately, and get more accurate test results. Automated software testing provides a strong guarantee to software quality.IBM FileNet P8 Content Engine, which always used for content management of large enterprises, is the product to be tested. The Test Management Console (TMC) which developed by IBM is mainly used for automated testing of FileNet products. This research is based on automated testing of IBM Content Engine, and then researches the testing process of TMC. At last put forward the concept of Task and Task-driven. Task is the orderly preferment process to complete one special function. Task-driven is one business process which achieved through performing a sequence of related tasks. Tasks are executed by calling remote scripts which have been prepare in remote TMC server. This research designs and implements a group of test cases for TMC testing system, which based on the concept of task-driven and framework requirements of TMC. The study analyzed the Content Engine and the TMC's work processes, try to design highly flexible, platform-independent, reusable test cases. At the same time, the study used IBM ClearQuest to do defect management.In this research, the designed test cases, which putted in TMC server, have been executed on different versions of Content Engine which deployed on different platforms, systems, databases and application server. Through the actual testing, the designed test cases can have a good preferment on different platform, and the test result is almost perfect. Another way to say, the test cases we designed are cross-platform and reusable test cases. At last, we successfully complete defect management that related to our new test cases by using ClearQuest.
