Automated Testing Guy

With the next release of ABCWebTest it will be possible to automate the testing of Ajax applications such as Google Maps. You'll be able to move the mouse over any element on a web page (e.g. a zoom slider image) drag the mouse in either a vertical or horizontal direction (e.g. dragging a map or dragging a zoom slider up or down to zoom in on the map). ABCWebTest will automatically wait until the Ajax application has updated all the data before returning from a method call.

This means you, as the test writer, don't have to worry about putting in timers/waits/sleeps until the Ajax operation is finished. You'll just use this simple API (example code is testing the Google Maps site):

C#

Image sliderImage = browser.Document.GetImageBySrc("slider.png");
browser.Mouse.MoveOverElement(sliderImage);
browser.Mouse.DragVertically(20); //zoom in on map - move slider up by 20 pixels


Java

Image sliderImage = browser.getDocument().getImageBySrc("slider.png");
browser.getMouse().moveOverElement(sliderImage);
browser.getMouse().dragVertically(20); //zoom in on map - move slider up by 20 pixels
