Introduction
VCLAuto is a Java library for OpenOffice UI/functional testing like VCLTesttool. VCLAuto can be used with JUnit. The project is under developing and will be released in Apache OpenOffice 4.0.
There are a lot of testing codes in the OO project, e.g. unit test, qadevooo and smoketestoo_native. Why do we need the library?
Generally, unit test code (pure junit/cppunit test) is executed in the build process before OO is created. It's low-level and used to verify if the source code is right before they are linked to a real product. It's a white-box testing. If you want to verify a function/method/interface is correct, put your test code in unit test. qadevooo & smoketestoo_native uses UNO API/Macro to perform testing. To run them, a real OO product must be available. It's middle-level and used to verify if UNO api and business model work correctly. It's a gray-box testing. User interaction is not involved in this testing. It can't fully simulate a user behavior or check if GUI is correct. For example, check if user can draw a shape by dragging, check if OO automatically capitalize the first letter after typing a word, check if a button's checked when user change the selection, etc. Vclauto is high-level black-box testing. It performs testing more like a real user. It generates keyboard/mouse events, does GUI actions and gets information from the GUI to validate the function.
Background
Actually VCLAuto is a java version of VCLTesttool, which connects to the automation server (automation module) in OpenOffice with socket. With the "-enableautomation" argument, OpenOffice will start the server with listening on the port 12479 be default. VCLTesttool is heavily used by the QA team in SUN/Oracle, but many people doesn't like it because of its drawbacks.
- The poor IDE. (Java has many enough powerful IDEs to make writing code easily, e.g. Eclipse / Netbeans)
- Hard to debug.
- Hard to read the code and analyze the testing result. (A lot of code is written in Non-English. Maybe German)
- Too many errors
- Basic language is not popular.
I found Test_Cleanup project starts to unify all testing code to follow the standard xUnit style, so I think it's time to clean up GUI test as well.
Getting Started with Eclipse
Setup Project
Get and install Eclipse Java IDE firstly. http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
- Open Eclipse, and then click menu "File->Import..."
- Select "General->Existing Projects into Workspace", click next, and then select the following projects.
{AOO_SOURCE_ROOT}/testcommon
The project contains the common test utilities and low-level implementation to do GUI testing
{AOO_SOURCE_ROOT}/testscript
The project contains the GUI testing scripts. Test case should be written in this project.
- Click "Finish" to import the projects.
- Open "testscript/build.xml", Run the ant target "prepare.dependencies" to get all required jars. Make sure you can access to internet. Otherwise, you need manually download junit.jar (MUST be 4.10+) into "testscript/output/lib/junit.jar"
- Refresh the test project
Run Testing
Run Testing in Eclipse
1.Select a test class. e.g. testcase.SayHelloToOO
2.Right click the SayHelloToOO and select Run As->JUnit Test. Create a JUnit configuration for the test class.
3.Select Argument tab and add -Dopenoffice.home="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program" into VM arguments.
4.Click Run to start testing
Run Testing in Terminal
Firstly make sure Apache Ant 1.8.2+ installed. If not, download it from http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi In the terminal, run command "ant -version" to verify the version.
How do I run testing on my OpenOffice?
cd testscript ant -Dtest.classes="[Your_Test_Classes]" -Dopenoffice.home="[Your_OpenOffice_Location]"
How do I run build verification testing after building AOO from source code?
source LinuxX86Env.Set.sh cd testscript && ant
Where to get the testing result?
By default, the testing result is stored in "testscript/../testspace/output".
- "report" stores the result in HTML, like this.
- "result" stores XML result.
- "screenshot" stores the snapshot when test is failed.
- "logs" stores the detail log.
Write Testing Classes
Write UI testing case following JUnit 4 style like the following:
public class UITest { @Before public void setUp() throws Exception() { initApp(); } @Test public void test() throws Exception() { // Create a new text document via main menu startcenter.menuItem("File->New->Text Document").select(); typeKeys("Hello OpenOffice"); writer.menuItem("Edit->Select All").select(); // Copy the text typeKeys("<$copy>"); assert("Text is inputted successfully.", "Hello OpenOffice", App.getClipboard()); } @After public void tearDown() throws Exception() { } }
The library mainly implements a bunch of vcl control proxies to perform actions on and retrieve information from OpenOffice. e.g.
VclControl startcenter = new VclControl("startcenter.id"); startcenter.click(); VclButton someButton = new VclButton("some.button.id"); someButton.click(); boolean checked = someButton.getText(); VclListBox someListBox = new VclListBox("some.listbox.id"); someListBox.select("Item1"); String selected = someListBox.getSelText();
Methods to post keyboard/mouse event to OS.
typeKeys("AB<enter>"); //type shortcuts typeKeys("<ctrl a><ctrl c><ctrl v>"); //Perform mouse click on screen click(200, 200);
