Config-file documentation
We have 3 configuration files that we use in our automation test cases:
- configurationAMO
- browserConfig (will be renamed to TCParameters)
- GridConnection
configurationAMO:
This file is not available on SVN for viewing. It contains tuples/associative arrays of the following:
1. Different user types such as admin user, non-admin user, a user with developer rights, a user with certain addons etc.
A sample user array looks like non_adm = {'login':'nonadminuser@example.com', 'pwd':'somepassword', 'fname':'John', 'nick':'john_non_adm'}.
So, if you want to acces the user array from AMOfunctions.py then the code would look like:
user = self.objConfigAMO.getUserInfo(userType)
and in your test case it would look like:
self.objAMOfunc.login('userNonAdm' sel)
2. Different add-ons. If you want to use a specific add-on then it should be added to the addons array in this file.
Note: It is recommended not to use a specific add-on unless necessary. Currently, our tests picks a random add-on from the home-page if you call the function getRandomAddonVersion2(appName, sel)
borwserConfig (TCParameters):
TCParameters has variables defined with values that are required to run a test case. We will have 3 copies of TCParameters, one for Smoke Tests suite, one for Basic Functional Tests suite & one for Full functional tests.
Some of the variables defined here are:
- limits for processing loops
- maxCategories = 3 # maximum number of categories checked in test case
- maxItemsPerPage = 10 # maximum number of items (ex: personas, add-ons) checked per page
- # sortOption and sortOptionControl is being replaced by page specific options.
- sortOption = # sort option parameter for a test function. possible values listed in test suite
- sortOptionControl = # sort option control to select, if script handles multiple. values listed in test suite
- # list sort and filter options
- AMOhomePageSortOptions = ('recommended', 'popular', 'added', 'updated')
- AMOhomePageSort = AMOhomePageSortOptions[0]
Depending on the kind of test suite, the values will differ. For e.g. maxCategories = 1 (for Smoke Test Suite); maxCategories = 3 (for BFT Suite); maxCategories = all (for FFT);
