the idea is that each page in the app that Im testing has a corresponding class
n my test code.
the class would look something like this:
class MyLoginPage < SomeParentClass
text_field :user_name , :id=>'username'
text_field :pass_word, :id =>'password'
button :login_button , :value => 'Login Now'
title "Welcome To MyApp"
url /login.jsp/
def has_loaded
raise "Not loaded" unless user_name.exists?
end
def do( un , pw )
user_name.set( un )
pass_word.set( pw )
login_button.click
NextPage.has_loaded
end
end
the ParentClass would have methods to validate that everything is there, the
title is correct etc. It also has the code to do the translation of the
descrptive name ( eg login_button) to the actual element ( button(:value ,
'Login Now!')
I also have some code that generates this class from the page, so in irb you
would do something like this
ie.goto( 'http://server/login.jsp')
ie.gen => saves the class to a file using the title
which then saves the class above.
Bob Cotton from Rally has doe some similar type things, as has Elizabeth
Hendrickson. Another guy I have worked with also came up with something
similar, which makes me think this is sort of okay.
Ive also been using something like this for model based testing, which really
is kind of neat.
