Yes, we have AQTest, purchased in an attempt to provide ourselves with a
formal reversion testing framework. Its a great product and certainly can
manipulate all of the components of a Delphi application, either by raw
events, or by named object manipulation. All that I needed to do to make our
application AQTest friendly was to ensure that all of the internally
generated objects were given sensible names and we could script the
application behaviour very well.
Unfortunately all of our great intentions fell down on the great gaping hole
of automated testing, and that is in finding the time and expertise to
create. maintain and run all of the necessary tests. The amount of effort
involved in testing our application was so large that we are still thinking
about it. In fact we would probably need a full time subject matter expert,
with some scripting experience just to keep up with the development, and a
month or two to get them up to the current state of development, if they
could ever catch up with us...
Now that we have Delphi whipped into shape as a serious RAD environment, we
can create new features faster than we could ever hope to write any sort of
formalised test scripts. So AQTest remains upon the self awaiting a day when
we are feature complete (ie, never) and can spend the time to test
everything using it.
If you had asked about AQTime on the other hand, I could unreservedly say
that it totally rocks, and has paid for itself sever times over in fidning
and fixing critical performace bottle necks. Its a seriously leading edge
profiler and well worth the cost.
Cheers, Max.
