Good morning everybody,
I am starting with automated testing tools.With Watir where can i find everything which is about Canoo and the way it can handle e-mail/messaging/SMTP ? Actually, I have to study solutions for an automation testing tool for a wireless push e-mail service : it provides capability to have one's email messages pushed to one's mobile phone. And I have to find an "end-to-end E-Mail automated testing tool". (I don't know if the name is correct but the idea is to have a tool which handle everything related to e-mails).
The input of the architecture is a server in charge of collecting messages
from external mailboxes (so IMPA4/POP3 are used by the sub-system in charge
of this external mailboxes aggregation). And in the other end of my
architecture, another component is in charge of inserting X-headers in order
to send (thanks to SMTP
protocol) the e-mail with a specific format to
another block which will push the e-mail into the MMS format to a mobile
device.
The goal is to automate all the tests aimed at checking that e-mail sent to
a mailbox are eventually pushed to the mobile device.
Because at the moment it is quite manual : the person in charge of tests has
for example to connect by telnet to an activation server, then he has to
launch a perl script to create a subscriber to the service, then he has to
check by logging in the web site of the service that his mailbox has been
well created, then he clicks on a few links, then he has to send a testing
e-mail and to check in the mailbox that it has been well received (is Watir able to deal with analysing for example the objects of e-mail displayed in a webmail ?) and
eventually he has to check the receipt on a emulator
(simulating the mobile
phone) or on the mobile phone directly that he got the mail pushed...
I am sure the whole thing can be monitored by an automated script ? (maybe
by using an hybrid solution of course, with different tools?).
Thank you very much in advance for any help.
Guillaume
