Write GUI test case

A simple example

You can find one simple example in the testgui project. The source code is testgui/source/testcase/gui/AOOTest.java.

package testcase.gui;
 
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import static testlib.gui.AppUtil.*;
import static testlib.gui.UIMap.*;
 
import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Rule;
import org.junit.Test;
 
import testlib.gui.CalcUtil;
import testlib.gui.Log;
 
/**
 * If AOO is not installed in the default directory, please specify the system property in your command line. <br/>
 * -Dopenoffice.home="Your OpenOffice installation directory which contains soffice.bin"
 *
 */
public class AOOTest {
 
	/**
	 * Add Log to enable the following capabilities.
	 * 1. Take a screenshot when failure occurs.
	 * 2. Collect extra data when OpenOffice crashes.
	 * 3. Log any detail information.
	 */
	@Rule
	public Log LOG = new Log();
 
 
	/**
	 * Do some setup task before running test
	 * @throws Exception
	 */
	@Before
	public void setUp() throws Exception {
		//Start OpenOffice with a clean user profile
		app.start(true); 
	}
 
	/**
	 * Clean task after testing
	 * @throws Exception
	 */
	@After
	public void tearDown() throws Exception {
 
	}
 
	/**
	 * Implement test steps 
	 */
	@Test
	public void testHello() {
		startcenter.menuItem("File->New->Spreadsheet").select();
		calc.waitForExistence(10, 3);
		typeKeys("Hello");
		assertEquals("Assert", "Hello", CalcUtil.getCellInput("A1"));
	}
 
}

testlib.gui.UIMap

The classes under package org.openoffice.test.vcl.widgets can be used to interact with VCL controls. To construct the classes, GUI control's Help ID should be specified.

VclWindow startcenter = new VclWindow("FWK_HID_BACKINGWINDOW");
startcenter.click();
VclButton someButton = new VclButton("SC_HID_INSWIN_CALC");
someButton.click();
boolean checked = someButton.getText();
VclListBox someListBox = new VclListBox("some.listbox.id");
someListBox.select("Item1");
String selected = someListBox.getSelText();

Generally we define GUI controls centrally in one class named testlib.gui.UIMap. The advantage is that we can easily update our scripts when GUI changes. There have been many pre-defined controls. For example:

• app: The whole AOO application
• startcenter: Startcenter window
• writer: Writer window
• calc: Calc window
• impress: Impress window.

You can define new GUI control by add one line in the class or use one Eclipse plugin named testassistant to simplify the thing.

How to define GUI controls

Use VCL Test Assistant Eclipse Plugin
Install the plugin into your eclipse.
File:Testassistant.zip
Open Eclipse Preferences, find the page "VCL Test Assistant" and then specify OpenOffice installation directory.

Open "VCL Test Assistant->VCL Explorer" view.

Click Launch to start OpenOffice and then click Inspect.
Now, OpenOffice will pop up a floating windows titled "DisplayHID". Drag the gray circle to some controls and then release the button.

Go back to VCL Explorer, you will get the Help IDs.

If you want to use any control, left double click on the "Name" item of the control which you want to use, then add a name to it. Then you will find a UI control defined automatically in the last line of UIMap.java.(%EclipseWorkspaceDir%\test\testscript\src\testlib\UIMap.java). Then you can use the control by name you defined instead of using control ID.

testlib.gui.AppUtil

testlib.gui.AppUtil inludes some methods to post keyboard/mouse event to OS.

AppUtil.typeKeys("AB<enter>");
//type shortcuts
AppUtil.typeKeys("<ctrl a><ctrl c><ctrl v>");
//Perform mouse click on screen
AppUtil.click(200, 200);
