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.

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.
