Test Automation Overview
 Automated test scripts are a valuable way to perform
regression testing on applications to ensure that new
features or bug fixes don’t break existing functionality.
 They typically supplement manual testing and
exploratory testing which is more efficient at the testing
of new features and capabilities.
 For complete test coverage you need to perform the
same automated tests across a complete spectrum of
platforms, browsers, devices and environments.

Rapise®

Feature Walkthrough
Record & Playback

Automated Recording
 Rapise provides a powerful automated test recorder that captures
your interactions with the application being tested and uses that to
build a reusable object repository and automated test script.
 With its extensive set of libraries, Rapise will automate your web,
mobile and desktop testing including hybrid applications.

Scriptless vs. JavaScript
 Rapise comes with an easy to use, highly-intuitive scriptless test
authoring language called RVL. This lets testers that are domain
experts and not programmers use Rapise to write tests.
 For more technically proficient users, Rapise has a full JavaScript
IDE to write tests. You can even mix RVL and JavaScript.

Intelligent Playback
 When you record a test, Rapise translates your actions into a script.
When you playback the test, the script is executed.
 Tests can be either played-back through the Rapise user interface,
directly from the command-line, or from a test management system
such as SpiraTest.

Test Validation
 Rapise lets you add verification points to your test scripts so that
you can make sure your tests are producing the expected results
and behavior during testing.
 You can add verification points during recording or manually after
the fact using the IDE.

Learn and Go™ Recording
 Rapise's unique Learn and Go testing method is much more time
efficient than traditional record-and-playback processes.
 Objects are edited during the learning process instead of waiting for
all objects to be recorded then edited.
 Faster, more complete test script generation and automatic script
updates significantly reduces testing time and gets your application
to market faster.

Cross Browser Testing
 Rapise is purpose-built for cross-browser testing, supporting
multiple versions of IE, Edge, Firefox Chrome, Safari and Opera.
 With Rapise you can your test web applications in all of the most
widely used browsers. Create one test script and execute the same
script without modification across the major browsers.

Powerful Reporting
 Rapise comes with powerful and flexible reporting capabilities that
allow you to quickly see the results of your testing activities.
 You can event customize the data being reported by adding
instructions within your test script.
 Report Filtering lets you specify criteria to filter your view of the test
execution report. Rows that do not match your criteria are hidden.

Analog Recording
 In instances where an application is not well suited to object-based
test automation (for instance a graphics application such as MS
Paint), Rapise provides analog recording as a fallback solution.
 With analog recording, Rapise can take even the worst-case
situation and allow you to automate it.

Exploratory & Manual Testing
 In addition to its world class automation functionality, Rapise brings
the power of automation to your manual and exploratory testing.
 No more laborious creation of test cases and test steps. Rapise,
lets your testing keep pace with your development cycles.
 Rapise automatically creates your manual test cases as your
simply use the application

Feature Walkthrough
Robust Automation

Powerful Object Manager
 One of the most important tasks in test automation is keeping the
test scripts current with changes in the application.
 With the adoption of Agile methodologies, the need to be able to
adjust the test scripts to account for refactoring is critical.
 Rapise's powerful object manager ensures that changes in the
application can be handled without any script rewrites.

Drag & Drop IDE
 Rapise scripts are written in JavaScript (Microsoft JScript).
 You can run and debug your script using the full featured integrated
JavaScript Editor and Debugger.
 Rapise includes a testing API, with methods for manipulating
images, spreadsheets, common GUI widgets, and more.

Data-Driven Testing
 Data-Driven Testing (DDT) is the creation of test scripts to run
together with their related data sets in a framework. The framework
provides re-usable test logic to reduce maintenance and improve
test coverage.
 Rapise provides powerful support for DDT with the ability to load
in sets of test data from either an Excel spreadsheet or relational
database

Optical Character Recognition
 Sometimes you need to get a text written inside a GUI control or find
a place on the screen that contains a given text.
 It is not always possible to solve this task using objects natively
supported by Rapise or Simulated Objects.
 In this case Optical Character Recognition (OCR) may help.

Hybrid Application Testing
 Applications are not always written using a single technology, so
Rapise has been design to test such hybrid applications.
 Using a single test script, Rapise can test applications that use
multiple different technologies seamlessly.

Selenium Integration
 Rapise lets you leverage your
existing WebDriver scripts as well
as playback Rapise tests through Selenium:

Distributed Testing
 Rapise when used with our SpiraTest test management system
allows you to manage a distributed automated test lab.
 You can run your test scripts across multiple planforms and
environments with integrated scheduling and real-time reporting.

XPath & Spy Tools
 The Rapise Spy Tools let you interact with the application under
test in real time to discover the available objects for automation.
 During recording you can use the same Spy tool to pick specific
objects to be used in the generated test script.
 Rapise includes Spy tools for multiple technologies and platforms.

API Testing
 The move to cloud computing has highlighted the importance of
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
 With the rise in cloud applications and interconnect platforms, API
testing is a necessity.
 Rapise provides powerful API testing features including support
for testing REST & SOAP web services.

Load & Performance Testing
 Seamlessly convert your functional test scripts from Rapise into a
NeoLoad load test and performance scenario.
 Perform a simultaneous UI test in Rapise whilst NeoLoad is load
testing the backend; feed your performance metrics from Rapise
into NeoLoad to give you the complete picture.

Feature Walkthrough
Flexibility & Extensibility

Unit Test Integration
 Unit Testing involves testing individual units of a piece of software
to make sure they act as intended.
 With the move to Agile methodologies and test-driven development,
unit testing is an integral part of continuous delivery and DevOps.
 Rapise provides powerful features to enhance your unit testing to
include test user interfaces as well as code libraries.

Test Management Integration
 SpiraTest provides an integrated, holistic test management
solution that manages your requirements, tests and incidents.
 When you use Rapise with SpiraTest or SpiraTeam, you can
centrally manage your automated tests and remotely schedule and
launch them in a globally distributed test lab.

Extensible Scripting Engine
 The core scripting engine used in Rapise is based on JavaScript
and it can be easily extended to use third party JavaScript
libraries and frameworks.
 In addition you extend the core testing engine used by Rapise to
include additional test libraries, validation frameworks and
reporting options.

Custom Libraries
