Hello Maherzia,

I discovered recently RCPTT. I can say this:

Quote:

question5:
How to set parameters or varibales to be used by RCPTT scripts ?

You can read the guide for parameters. For parameters, you to have create a parameter. You can also use the command "let".

Quote:

question7:
How to set verification points ?

I use the command verify-true

Quote:

question9:
Is there a way to continue in launching RCPTT tests and ignoring produced failures.

It's the the normal functioning. RCPTT don't stop on a error, It's execute the Suite test complete.

Quote:

question10:
Is there a full documentation ? (ECL and RCPTT commands included)

You can read the user guide. And for the commands in details, I use this link. RCPTT from project q7 (without continous integration). It's more easy to find documentation on q7.

Hello!
Thanks for contacting us!

1. RCPTT doesn't support E4 RCPs without 3.x compatibility layer (If AUT contains org.eclipse.ui.workbench plugin, then RCPTT supports it.).

2. RCPTT supports draw2d, GEF, GMF, Nebula Tables

3. No. There is no way for image comparison.

4. RCPTT is a testing tool that allows you to design tests and run them manually. There is commercial product Continuous Integration for RCPTT by Xored (http://ci.xored.com/) or you can use solutions from other vendors.

5. About variables and parameters you can read in User Guide (Variables and parameters)

6. RCPTT supports platforms which are supported by Eclipse.

7.This functionality is discribed here (verifications) and here (assertions) in User Guide.

8. Yes. Reports contain all information about assertion and verification points and their status.

9. If one test fails, RCPTT continue launching other tests. Contexts make tests independent, so one failure doesn't affect launching other tests.

10. You can find RCPTT documentation here and discription of ECL commands there.

Yours sincerely,
Olga.

Thanks a lot Frabcis and Olga for your quick answers.
An other question, If I want to modify or to add some actions/verification points to my test script. Could I record from a specific AUT status ?
Is there the possibility to insert data into an existing script without replaying it.
This option is so helpfull for tests maintenance.

Hi,

We intentionally replay already recorded snippet when you click 'Record' in existing test case to make sure that a script is consistent. If you need to manually record something and place it in a suitable place of existing test case, you can use 'Record a Snippet' (

https://www.eclipse.org/rcptt/documentation/img/ui-snippet.png

) button on RCPTT IDE toolbar. This button immediately starts recording of an unnamed test case without any contexts, so that you can record actions and just cut-n-paste resulting script

Hi Maherzia,

If you run your tests in a continuous integration RCPTT Runner will close AUT automatically after all tests are passed.

Any other ways like closing AUT in a particular test are not supported.

Kind regards,
Ulyana.

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to run more than 1 instance of RCPTT to execute 2 test suite simultaneously? Thanks.

Hello,

I know this discussion is old, but I just started using the tool and have problems with it. First I didn't understand why after each test, the AUT is not stopped and launched again, but I found a workaround for this and it's ok now. However, after failure the suite just stops. I used all kinds of contexts and nothing works. Please, help!

Hello Maria!

If you have a question, then please start a new thread instead of posting in an old thread! That way the answers will be easer to find in the future.

(I am also interested in how a test suite can be made to continue with the nest test after a failire!)
