Hi all,
After the latest discussions about DSLs and keyword driven frameworks i gave
that topic some thoughts and came up with the following problem:
In both cases (DSL and excel sheet containing keywords and actions) you have to
specify the page, objects on that page and the related actions in order to have
your testcase design as flexible as it could be.
You could encapsulate e.g. "LoginPage", "username_field", "password_field",
"set_text" etc in some kind of an action method called "login" but you or your
test designers would loose the flexibility to play arround with the objects on
a page (ok - login is a very basic example. I'm not sure if it makes that much
sense to play around with 2 input fields and a button ;))
By only specifing objects and actions related to those objects in your test
description you have no easy way to set conditions. Im looking for some sort of
eventhandling for making those tests more robust. Lets say your SUT demands
that you change your password every 6 six weeks. In that case i would like to
have something like this:
goto LoginPage do
username.set user
password.set pwd
login.click
on PleaseChangeYourPassword do
old_password.set pwd
new_password.set new_pwd
ok.click
end
end
Is it possible to implement such a kind of a eventhandling with ruby and watir
or do you guys have a better idea for handling such a kind of problem?
