Open Web Apps Desktop Test Framework

Overview

The following is a set of notes on different requirements and possible solutions for testing the desktop portion of the Open Web Apps infrastructure.

Extension Installation

• Mozmill test cases for installation processes
• Firefox-dependent test cases
• Well-supported in Mozmill testing framework for apps-based system testing

App Installation

• Test cases require extension to be there and not
  • Mozmill can handle extension-based testing
• Cross-browser support required
  • Selenium does very well here
• Cross-platform native installation is required
• Need knowledge of the "app origin" and "app name" to determine system location of installation files on windows
  • Information above could be "useful" for testing in general
  • Mac - Just need the above information, could use known directory location, and investigate whether the application was installed in that location
  • Windows - Using needed information, could find the directory location, and investigate whether the application was installed in that location
• Conflict here - Don't know if it's possible to combine Selenium and Mozmill under the same framework
  • Selenium approach may be more effective - Could utilize command line or build location to grab an install extension
  • UI approach would be an issue if that was the last resort though
  • Possible to merge both Selenium and Mozmill codebases under one roof?
  • Mozmill code - JavaScript, Selenium code would likely be in Python
    • JavaScript code could call Python Services?
    • Marionette a possible option?
• Native installation analysis - use system os utilities to determine
