I have a scenario like this - Application written in hybrid languages (Python, C++ and Java majorly). There are around 100 test cases written in Robot framework to test the application. Now I want to see code coverage of my application. Is there any tool that can work in such scenario?
Thanks in advance.
The same way you would do outside robotframework: Using external code analysis tools. Let me elaborate.
In Python, you can use tools like Coverage (https://pypi.org/project/coverage) to run your testing suite while gathering coverage data. For example, if you usually run your robot test suites using:
robot suites
(supposing you have a "suites" directory with your .robot files) then you would run robot as a Python module over Coverage like this:
coverage run -m robot suites
And you could get your report with:
coverage report
You'll probably need to filter the report (--include option) if you're only interested in code inside a directory. For example, for a directory "myproy" you would do:
coverage report --include *myproy/*
You could use a similar strategy with other Python test coverage tools as long as you figure out how to tweak their execution command to run robot as a module. The same holds for C++ and Java code analysis tools; For example, check the following link for a guide that uses Java with JaCoCo and Maven: https://www.cnblogs.com/z1500592/p/6676646.html

I'm trying to improve the testing process where I work, but without adjusting the structure.
What we have: VSTS, Selenium IDE, Testers who write test cases, but not code.
What I'd like to do is manage a way to marry our TFS continuous integration with the Selenium tests we write. These are NOT the code-driven selenium tests, but rather the IDE version where users click through, and set assertions using the IDE (All are just UI tests). I know we can export those tests plans as a .SIDE file, but what I can't figure out, is how to have our TFS server execute those as part of a deployment or build pipeline.
Ideally, developers/devops would setup projects in TFS from the onset with whatever solution makes sense to execute these Selenium .SIDE files, but afterwards, the testers would manage adding/modifying those tests cases elsewhere.
The real goal here is to not have testers writing code, or checking in code. Only writing these UI Selenium tests, but having TFS execute those as part of CI.
Researching this on the internet drives me basically always to something that requires testers to write code.
I don't think it can automate testing without code, at lease, you need a test project containing your automated tests.
Generally, in Azure DevOps, we use Visual Studio Test task to run tests. This task supports using the following tests:
Test assembly: Use this option to specify one or more test assemblies that contain your tests. You can optionally specify a
filter criteria to select only specific tests.
Test plan: Use this option to run tests from your test plan that have an automated test method associated with it. To learn more about
how to associate tests with a test case work item, see Associate
automated tests with test cases.
Test run: Use this option when you are setting up an environment to run tests from test plans. This option should not be used when
running tests in a continuous integration/continuous deployment
(CI/CD) pipeline.
This was a question that I had as well, and I think I found an imperfect but better solution.
I wasn't able to get my Selenium IDE tests running with Jenkins, but I was able to get them to run with TeamCity, another CI.
I created a build step like the following :
Runner type: Command Line
Working Directory: where the selenium IDE .side file is located
Run: Custom Script
With the build script content that I usually use to run my Selenium IDE Tests, such as selenium-side-runner sidefile.side
I also added the following so I could output the results in Junitor another form: --output-directory=results --output-format=junit
You can also add the following so the tests are run headlessly, this only works in Chrome : -c "goog:chromeOptions.args=[--headless,--nogpu] browserName=chrome"
Finally, I also use --filter to run one test suite at a time, but that is optional too.
I then used another build step to export the results to our test manger, xray, but I think that is beyond the scope of this question.
The problem with this solution is that it runs directly from a users individual machine still, but this can be work around.
Is there an open source tool available to control the running of BDD cucumber tests?
We are developing BDD cucumber tests and would like the option to control the tests when running them (start/stop/pause/restart) using an open source (or proprietary) test tool.
The short answer it, yes.
The somewhat longer answer is that it depends on your echo system.
If you are using Java, then any build tool will be sufficient. That is Maven, Gradle or similar. These are easy to integrate in your Continuous Integration, CI, environment. With a tool chain like that, you are able to execute Cucumber on every build and will always know if your system works or not.
Yes , but in small scope (Automation tests) and less process control related to run and control tests ,In high scope with multiple branches and projects i think you have to move to Jenkins with full control.

I have just started learning about test automation in Selenium and found out that most online tutorials would tell you to run the test suite inside an IDE together with a test framework such as TestNG (with testng.xml) and a build tool such as Maven.
When you are working in a software company and told to build a test framework and run automated tests, I don't believe you actually need to fire up your IDE every time you want to execute your test suite. So, my question is, what is the typical setup a software company follows to 'automate' running your test automation scripts?
Software companies are following agile practices and wanna keep up with industry practices. In real projects, CI & CD are used to continuously integrate, deploy and test the software.
Tests are written by SDET using test automation frameworks. While developing test scripts test developers use IDEs like eclipse. However, tests are executed over Jenkins as a job, after required frequency/event.
For example, after every code deployment, Jenkins can automatically trigger your sanity suite, and run regression bi-weekly.
The process' are automated now-a-days with stakeholders demanding agility.
One can invoke selenium java project from command line via .bat file in Jenkins, or using ant/maven as build tools.
IDEs are seldom used to run tests in real world.
I am trying to get bytecode coverage analysis using a code coverage tool (like Emma or Jacoco) after testing with a GUI based functional testing tool (like HP QuickTest Pro or Selenium).
Anyone who has done this could please give me an idea to start this project?
I am doing this now. My approach is to use JaCoCo ant tasks to instrument the binary byte-code files, and use a specific CLASSPATH to execute the instrumented binaries from an ant build.xml from Jenkins.
The reason for doing the code coverage from byte-code is that there is an existing set-up that runs test scripts for a large application using HP QuickTest Pro . I would imagine that the test coverage is in the single digits, but we need an empirical baseline to demonstrate the possible improvements in code coverage from doing unit tests during a build.
I have a program with a COM API. I have a suite of functional tests using Python, but I want to provide a suite of VBscript code samples, and I'd like to test this suite of code automatically.
Is there a tool I can use to run a suite of VBscript tests without interaction, and collect pass/fail and timing statistics?
I found a test runner for vbscript, ScriptUnit.
It can be run without the GUI using the /Q option, so it looks like this one will fit the bill.
