There are 2 automaization tools in our project at this moment, one is Selenium, the other one is QTP. Now, we want to migrate the tests (develped in JAVA) on Selenium to QTP. So I would like to know if it is possible to do this thing cause for me, it's not in any situation...
Thanks in advance.

It is not possible to migrate scripts written in Selenium(Java) to QTP(vbscript)....
from previous experience I would consider the opposite ;)
from QTP to selenium.
of course I know that if you paid for the license, there is little chance of going the other way... but... management management management... ;)
anyway you could do a kind of "porting" of the two languages but yeah it is not going to be faster than if you do it from scratch.

i am learning selenium concepts.while in the process i am not able to decide to go for which programming language.
1- JAVA or 2- PHP
i have worked on PHP and have gud knowledge about it.so please tell me which is the good one php or JAVA and why???
Well the decission is not only yours. In my own example, I have chosen Java programming language.
Not because I have experience with it.
Not because I might have feeling, that "java is better than PHP"
Simply because all developers in my company work in Java. And because I need help with programming, it is almost always better idea to first ask around in the office than to post your question here on StackOverflow :)
I use groovy(he simply of java), and i use Geb freamwork for this.
You can read about this tool there: link
Enjoy!!!
Well decision is your own. In selenium choose programing language in which you have sufficient knowledge and you have a grip on the language.
Both programing language is good and both have its own scope in the market
I am looking for an automation testing tool that checks the following features:
Windows application functional testing on local desktop
Web-based functional testing
No coding required, to be used by testers with no coding experience
Record and run would be easy for GUI, but for object based testing some features to write simple words without coding without syntax problems
Can someone please help me with this?
I would recomend QTP as it can be used without any need for coding. The testers will just record and play back the recorded tests.
I don't understand point four well. I hope that my answer sheds some light and point you into the right direction
TestComplete is the way to go for this. It's strong points is everything you're looking for it seems. There is a 30 day free trial too and a bunch of content to get you up to speed. No coding required. http://smartbear.com/products/qa-tools/automated-testing-tools/
GPSS stands for General Purpose Simulation System. And it looks like that the language is more dead than alive (I didn't find good and actual blog or web site).
I began studying this language a few weeks ago, and faced with the lack of good IDE. I have to work with GPSS World and a don't like this system.
Does anyone know if there is any IDE or IDE-like system to work with GPSS? My dream is about intellisense, good run-time debugger, etc.
P.S. Sorry, but i can't create a new tag 'gpss'.
Thanks.
FastForward to 2016: I have used Wolverine's GPSS\H professional and student version. There are several variations of GPSS and there are many other non-GPSS alternatives.
AGPSS has a GPSS has IDE. A Toolbox GPSS-version exists for MATLAB (subset of commands).
GPSS's (Wolverine version) strength lies in that is computationally very efficient (lean) because it precedes Win-Tel \ DOS. The successor to GPSS\H is Wolverine's SLX and both are considered to be at the forefront of speed and capability. The student versions are available for download and evaluation
Ok, It's time to answer and finally close the question. As I told to lak-b, there are some companies in Russia, but I didn't see their result.
However, I found the one solution - WebGPSS. But I do not know if the development is in progress, or the project already died. You can figure it out by yourself. As to me, I would choose AnyLogic instead of GPSS.
Thanks.
I'm studing in UBA. We are using SNAKE in the Simulation course.
We are using Qtp as a testing tool, and currently planning to move to an open source testing tool. We have zeroed in on Watir and Selenium as two potential tools for this purpose. We have done some study of these two products and have liked Watir for its neat and powerful API and ease of use. We are only looking at testing on IE; hence cross-browser support provided by Selenium is probably not so important.
But, as my research on Watir progressed, there is one thing about Watir that is disturbing me a little. That is the losing momentum that I see about the product. Most of the articles, success stories and quotes are pretty old - say earlier to 2009. Hardly anything exciting being written about Watir in 2010. To add to this, I hear this story about Webdriver going to replace Watir. Though i couldn't find many articles on Watir-Webdriver, i saw this article on watir that is somewhat of a concern to me as it says watir is DEAD.
http://www.natontesting.com/2010/04/14/explaining-watir-selenium-and-webdriver/
We do not want to start with a product that is probably already dead, or dying.
Can any one please tell me what exactly is happening in Watir and what is the roadmap ahead?
Thanks,
Babitha
You can also check out the source code and it's history directly from GitHub https://github.com/bret/watir/commits/master/ to see if there's any activity.
But it's true that Watir had some longer period of inactivity in terms of releasing new versions http://rubygems.org/gems/watir/versions
As you can see then the time between 1.6.5 and 1.6.6 was almost a year. But nevertheless Watir is not dead nor planning to die. Also, you have got that right about Watir-Webdriver being Watir 2.0 in the future, but i'd not recommend it just yet for IE due to it's early alpha state and some pretty critical bugs. It's repo is here https://github.com/jarib/watir-webdriver
If you have any questions or problems related with Watir, don't be afraid to ask them in here or in Google groups at http://groups.google.com/group/watir-general
Watir is alive. Take a look at watir.com, you will find all information there. If you have further questions, ask.
In the same blog (that the page on natontesting.com mentions), Alister has discussed the impact of web driver on the future of WATIR.
He says:
If you’re a Watir user, it doesn’t really make that much difference. If you think of automated web testing as a car, Watir is the steering wheel and dashboard, which interact with the engine. Allowing Watir users to use WebDriver is like providing an additional engine choice, but keeping the steering wheel and dash the same.
Ultimately, I think that Watir will remain a very popular automated web testing tool, one that has been designed by testers for testers. I can see the usage of WatiN and Watij reducing as more developers move to Selenium 2.0/WebDriver which will offer the same functionality as Watir using a different API and multiple programming languages. If WebDriver can focus on the detail of controlling browsers, ultimately Watir will be a better tool as more effort can be spent on improving the Watir API, upgrading the steering wheel and dash, so to speak.
The point of that article is that both Selenium 2.0 and Watir 2.0 are incorporating Webdriver technology. Watir just put out a new release last month, Watir users are sharing tips everyday on the Watir General mailing list.
If I started a new framework today, I would be most likely to use Watir. I always keep an open mind, so I cannot guarantee what I would use. Maybe the project involves flex so I would try FunFX, or java developers want to be involved so I would consider webdriver with junit. But I would have no concern about using Watir into the future. I have used it for the past three years. I have known people who used it even before that. The community is too strong to die.
We used Watir for a while but ran into problems maintaining our Ruby environment. We're not a Ruby shop, so when we updated our version of Ruby and Watir stopped working we weren't fit to really understand why the breaks were occurring.
The lack of a good recorder was also a problem for us.
So we switched to Selenium, which has great recording capability and runs right in an NUnit test (we're onthe .Net platform), but Selenium doesn't execute successfully every single time. We had to write retry wrappers around the calls since they would work sometimes and not others.
Our quest to find something easily recordable that runs reliably continues. I've seen a lot on the forum about WebDriver and Sahi so I'll look into those. As long as we can spit out XML so we can integrate with CC, we're good.
As you already read, the WATIR community is alive and kicking! I just started the Automated Regression initiative at my company and one of the requirements was to utilize an open source tool (or a group of them). I came across WATIR and since its FOSS, Easy to use, and uses Ruby, I couldn't help but suggest the tool to Management.
Here's a tip (if you want it or not!):
WATIR is great stand-alone, but when bundled with CruiseControl (another FOSS tool that is a CI [Continuous Integration] Server), you can run your regression scripts all day long and get the xUnit reports from it (remember to utilize Ruby's built in Test Unit framework). Makes it real useful for the higher ups and your devs.
WATIR is alive and kicking and just recently came out with an update (1.67). The wiki is killer (http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/) so go there first for your Q&As.
Have Fun with WATIR. Beats the pants outta silly old QTP any day of the week!
Hit me up if you have questions since this is still fresh in my head :)
As every programmer knows tools are important and there is no tool more important for a developer than the IDE you use to code. In the last few years the IDE-s fall into standards and it is not common to see innovation in this area. What IDE-s you can recommend as innovative and what new ideas and paradigms they introduced?
This is by far the coolest set of coding tools yet!
http://vimeo.com/36579366
I haven't used this but saw the demo video yesterday. The IDE is called code bubbles and has a unique way of showing and grouping related code together.
That said I find the intellitrace feature in Visual Studio 2010 quite innovative.
Palm's Project Ares: http://ares.palm.com/Ares/about.html
It's the IDE for the Palm webOS phones, that runs entirely as a web app. You build and run your app inside the browser, and when you're done, you deploy straight to the cloud.
I'd put my bet on Meta Programming System by Jetbrains. The concept is not new but it's the first time it has been implemented on such a huge scale with great IDE support. You create a DSL first, then write programs in that DSL and finally generate code in a target language.
I'll go for Scratch, though I wouldn't want to write a banking system using it :-)
Some cool videos of structured editor prototype that will let you directly code the AST.
This is a prototype only and I have no idea if it is still being developed.
One interesting IDE I have seen only on video is Code Bubbles. It opens code snippets as a graph of visual "bubbles". It is really interesting and definitely something I want to try.
