This document describes a project to automate GUI testing using the iWAL library. It involves automating common ActiveX controls and developing a front end to load and run test scripts. The automation is done by accessing control properties like ID and name using iWAL wrapper functions. Applications like a calculator and grid are automated to demonstrate. A window application is created to run the automated tests and generate reports. Future research ideas involve enhancing network security verification and improving the iWAL library.

3. Project Objectives
To develop an automation bench using
iWAL where all the common controls and
some activeX controls are automated. To
develop a front end to load and run the test
scripts and master files that contain link to
one or more test scripts.

4. ABSTRACT
 The proposed project “GUI Testing
Automation” involves the Automated testing of
the different applications developed using VC++
and COM.
 Automation of common ActiveX controls and its
functionality like gridctrl, editbox, buttons, etc.
 Automation of the controls is done using Active
perl / iWAL Library.
 The idProperty & nameProperty is used for the
automation of the Different controls.

6. iWAL LIBRARY
 iWAL (Windows Automation Library) is a framework
used for UI Automation Testing.
 iWAL is a product of MINDTREE & is developed
using .NET and VC++.
 iWAL provides a programmatic access to most user
interface elements on desktop.
 iWAL provides wrapper functions to gather
information about UI and perform actions on control.
 It is easy to integrate iWAL with any framework as it
is in the form of library file.

7. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION
PLATFORM:
Windows OS
LIBRARIES:
Win32::GUI module (For Perl)
iWAL (For .NET)

8. TOOLS & SOFTWARE:
Microsoft Visual studio 2005
Crystal Reports
Active Perl
Winspy ++
HARDWARE:
Pentium IV , 3.2GHz
1 GB RAM
40 GB Hard Disk

13. Interaction with activeX controls

ActiveX controls are embedded in the container
application .

Programmer uses wrapper classes of those
controls to call methods.

Create a message map for the parent window so
that it calls the wrapper class methods of the
control when it gets the message

No communication between the script and the
instance handle of that control. Instead parent
window is used.

16. Interaction with Common Controls

Find the instance handle of the control

Bring it to foreground (Enable it)

Send message to the window with parameters

Check the result

Display the result
