PeopleSoft Test Framework Overview

Record and Playback tool Automates Functional testing within PeopleSoft Application More tests - Greater Accuracy- Shorter time Stored in Database as App Designer Objects Included in PT 8.51 & above
Record and Playback
PTF works by replicating the actions of a single user executing functional tests against the PeopleSoft browser-based application Users can record manual test procedures and save them within the framework Users can execute those tests against the application to verify whether the application still behaves as expected
5
PeopleTools Metadata
When PTF records a test, it recognizes the metadata, the actual name of a field rather than the position of that field on a page If the field is moved in a subsequent revision, PTF is still able to locate it when the test is executed
Developing Tests
Robust Test Development Platform
PTF EXPLORER PTF EDITOR
Interface with Other PeopleTools
Process Scheduler
PTF
P S Query
DataMover
PTF tests can run processes and reports through Process Scheduler, as well as queries and Data Mover programs
Where PTF is Used

Use PTF Yes Yes Test Unit System Description Validate data, business rules, and business processes Test all processes, such as online and batch functionality, interfaces, conversions, customizations, and reports Test business processes and groups of related processes Optionally perform throughout all testing stages Measure current system performance Validate business requirements in the test move-toproduction phase Retest previous tests
Yes Yes Limited Yes Yes
Integration Parallel Performance Acceptance Regression
Typical Usage in PS Projects

PTF can be used in
New Implementation projects Limited / No existing testing documentation Limited functional resources to participate in testing Highly customized environment Significant ongoing development projects Routinely deploying patches and fixes Savings on cost to buy a separate test automation software
10
Features
Test Assets Are Stored in the Database
As test assets are stored in the database they are readily accessible to anyone with authorized access Tests and test cases (test data) are PeopleTools managed objects They can be included in upgrade projects along with other managed objects and moved to a new database as part of the upgrade process.
11
Features
Facilitate Maintenance Due to Upgrades
The PTF test maintenance process drastically reduces the expense and risk in testing upgrades Provides reports that tell you what changes in the upgrade affect which tests in your test library.
12
Integrated Maintenance Reports

A Test Maintenance Report shows which objects were changed in an upgrade and which tests are affected by each change.

Benefits of PTF
Automated testing Consistent across environments Functional testing Speeds testing Reduces testing time and resources Easy to migrate

Recording Tests
Launching the Test Recorder
Recording a Test
To record a test: 1. Open a test. 2. Launch the test recorder. 3. Hook a browser. 4. Start recording. 5. Perform the test steps in the PeopleSoft application. 6. Stop recording. 7. Close the rest recorder. 8. Save the test.
Test Recorder Toolbar
22
Executing Tests & Reviewing Logs

Executing a Test
1. With a test open in PTF, select Test, Run. 2. PTF opens the PeopleSoft application specified in Execution Options and executes the test steps. 3. After the test executes, PTF opens the test log in the Log Viewer.
Using the Log Viewer

Reviewing Execution Logs

Log Icons
24
Cleaning Up Tests
Removing Unneeded Steps
When you record a test you often record unneeded steps.
Correcting Typos
To change a value, click in the Value column and retype or edit the text.
Modifying the steps

Modifying the steps to meet the actual requirement.
Adding Steps Manually

Some steps which cannot be recorded can be added by giving insert step.
25
Best Practices
26
Page Prompting & Process Run

Page Prompting
Testers should record all PTF tests using Page Prompting by default, PTF administrator can update this setting at the database level in PIA at PeopleTools > Lifecycle Tools > Test Framework > Define Configuration Options.
Process Run
ACTION RECOGNITION VALUE TYPE Use Process Run Feature to run a process in process scheduler. Process Run prcname=PAT07; prctype=SQR Report; wait=True; expected=Success
27
Scroll handling, Libraries & Using Test Cases

Scroll handling
PTF tests should use scroll handling whenever test data residing in a scroll or grid could change between executions
Libraries
Whenever testers find that they are coding the same sequence of PTF steps multiple times, they should try to isolate that sequence of steps in a library Library is a special type of PTF test that can then be called by another test Parameter feature provides the user with flexibility in passing values to the library
Using Test Cases

Testers should clone a unique test case specific to the functionality being entered from the default test case using the test case save as feature
28
Comments fields
Comments fields
PTF supports comments at the Test, Test Case, and Test Step levels. Comments must be used to clearly document the functional testware being automated
29
Types Of Variables
System Variables, Global Variables, and Reserved Words
Use these when the value of an object being set or verified is not known prior to run time Document the usage in the appropriate comment field (usually best at the test step level)
Persistent Variables
Testers should use persistent variables when they need a test to refer to the value of a global variable that was set during a previous execution of PTF Persistent variables are saved to the PTF database rather than in temporary computer memory .
30
Persistent Variables
31
Log Messages & Conditional Logic

Log Messages
Use of log messages (Log.Fail, Log.Message, Log.Pass, etc.) is strongly recommended to help users executing PTF tests to interpret execution log results.
Conditional and Looping Logic

Use PTFs conditional steps (Conditional.If_Then, .Else, and .End_If) and looping steps (Loop.Do, .For, and .While) to design custom logic not provided by other delivered steps and features.
32
PTF Tool Limitations

PTF Limitations: Unable to do mass testing Manually updating data for each test case in PTF environment Running Multiple iterations of test data for one test case PTF Sequencer Tool has been designed to overcome three major limitations of PTF To do mass testing through Process Scheduler To update the test data in PTF tables through a spreadsheet. Running multiple iterations of test data for one test case
33
Hexaware - PTF Sequencer Tool

Technical Process
Fetch data from Excel file to Staging table by CI Data moved from Staging table to state record Update the PTF Table data by state record value Passing required Parameter to run the PTF
Benefits:
Automatically updates the data for the required test case from the flat file Automatically run the updated test case by calling PTF executable file through Application Engine Program User can activate the required sequence test and run the same in the Shell Test program No need to open the PTF environment to change the data or run the test case, it will automatically run through PIA
34
New Features added in PTF 8.53 beta

Syntax Check Process Run Recognition in recorder settings HTML getcellindex & getcellvalue in the recorder toolbar Prompt for values in the recognition field for complex action types in the PTF editor All strings are recognized only if enclosed within quotes
