TestAdvantage adds Backstage testing

Released: Nov 16, 2010

Updates in this release

Updates in 2010 Volume 3

WinToolbars UI Testing - Enhanced!

New testing support for Application Menu 2010 (also referred to as "Backstage" view) in the Office 2010 ribbon through:

  • RibbonApplicationMenuDropDown
  • RibbonApplicationMenuCloseup
  • tbmgrAppMenu2010 constant on QTPToolRegion enumeration
  • PerformToolAction replaces 73 different recorded actions with one! It performs actions on a tool based on its region, path and tool ID.
  • RibbonApplicationMenuClouseUp behaves like a click on a ScenicApplicationMenuButton or ApplicationMenuButton.
  • New QTPToolAction enumeration condenses 8 different actions into one for more concise and comprehensible test scripts.

WinGrid UI Testing - Enhanced!

Increased support for testing appearance properties on rows and cells with two new replayable actions:

  • GetRowAppearance
  • GetCellAppearance

Both of these actions use a new QTPAppearanceProperty enumeration that lets you request the current value of any Appearance property.

Version-Free Assemblies - NEW!

  • Version-free assemblies in TestAdvantage enable you to test the exact same bits you are deploying for your application when it is taking advantage of the convenience provided by version-free assembly naming in NetAdvantage for Windows Forms.
  • You can use this version-free assembly support to test applications which use NetAdvantage Windows Forms 2010 Volume 3 or 2010 Volume 2 controls, provided the application under test uses version-free assemblies.
