The following document provides the necessary information for getting started with the Automated GUI Recorder in TPTP.
The Automated GUI Recorder (AGR) is used to record and playback user interactions with an Eclipse application.
- Extract the AGR archive to the
<Eclipse installation directory>/dropinsdirectory. - Start Eclipse with the -clean option.
For more information on how to use the AGR, see the AGR user guide or the Architectural Overview of the Automated GUI Recorder
For a flash tutorial on how to use the AGR, watch the Automated GUI recording.
For other TPTP limitations, see the Release Notes for this TPTP release.
1. Automated GUI Recorder (AGR) test suite execution suspends indefinitely when using the Agent Controller (AC) with security enabled
Bugzilla ID: 168948
The execution of a Automated GUI Recorder (AGR) test suite suspends indefinitely when using the Agent Controller (AC) with security enabled.
To resolve this issue, execute the Automated GUI Recorder (AGR) test suite when running the Agent Controller (AC) with security disabled.
For more information, see Getting started with Agent Controller for the target operating system.
2. Portability issues with Automated GUI Recorder (AGR) test suites
Bugzilla ID: 170338
Bugzilla ID: 168948
Bugzilla ID: 170375
Bugzilla ID: 170279
3. No datapool linkage support when referencing other Automated GUI Recorder (AGR) test suites in the behaviour of an AGR test suite
Bugzilla ID: 190018
When adding test suite references to the behaviour of an Automated GUI Recorder (AGR) test suite, the variable values stored in the original test case macro will be used instead of any datapool linkages.
To resolve this issue, add each test case individually to the behaviour of the AGR test suite. The datapool linkages will then be modifiable from the referencing AGR test suite and these values will be used during test execution.
