Back AutoScriptor
Back AutoScriptor is a non-intrusive, hardware assisted, automated software test system for PC based stand-alone and client-server applications. AutoScriptor is a comprehensive test system designed to automate the unattended testing of multiple operating systems and environments with a single, unique solution. AutoScriptor tests both GUI and character applications running under any PC based operating system including, QNX, DOS, Windows 3.x, Geoworks, Windows NT, Windows 95, OS/2, UNIX, NextStep, and other proprietary operating systems.

AutoScriptor's unique architecture makes it possible to support any PC based operating environment with one simple solution. By separating the testing software from the System Under Test (SUT), AutoScriptor is able to support the testing of any application running under any operating system without loading any special drivers or code on the SUT. This is accomplished by connecting the SUT to a PC based test server. The AutoScriptor Server is connected to each Target (SUT) machine via a proprietary network. The AutoScriptor hardware (see diagram ) consists of 2 PC plug-in cards, a client connector box, and 75 ohm cabling. The Server card is a multi-user network board that is installed into the Server PC. It is cabled to the connector box. The Target card is installed into the Target (SUT) for screen, text, and graphical verification. It is also cabled to the connector box. The connector box attaches to the keyboard and mouse of the Target, enabling the capture and replay of mouse and keyboard events.

Key Features

Record / Playback

In the capture phase (recording), the test engineer exercises the application under test. The hardware simulator captures keystrokes and mouse movements. The answers from the system, i.e. screen contents, are captured as well. This information is sent from the hardware simulator to the AutoScriptor Client / Server application to be stored in an ANSI C based test script. In the subsequent playback phase (execution), the test script is executed on one or many client PC(s) directed by the AutoScriptor server application. During playback execution, all application responses are captured and the true performance of the software under test is accurately measured. This phase runs unattended and automatically synchronizes to the application under test.

Object Libraries

The power of AutoScriptor lies in its ability to capture reusable objects such as, icons, push-buttons, menu items, list boxes, hyper-text links and reuse them throughout all test cases. Either while recording or off-line, patterns can be captured, updated or replaced. These patterns are stored in user definable directory structures and can then be re-used when recording future scripts. This technology drastically reduces the time spent on test script maintenance and allows for cross platform script portability.

Optical Character Recognition ( OCR )

Recognize text strings within any character based or graphical based application with a lighting fast OCR engine available as an add-on to the base AutoScriptor product. Create your own font libraries within any operating system using any font. OCR enables you to now compare text characters without relying on bitmaps. The power of a software tool in a non-intrusive environment.

Simultaneous Multi-User Playback

AutoScriptor's network connection enables multi-user playback across multiple SUT PC's. One AutoScriptor Host can support up to 10 PC Clients. One Scenario test can control the same test or different tests on each SUT that is connected to the AutoScriptor network. Multi-user testing is critical for network based applications where stress, load and performance testing are critical to success.
