Challenges

SSTS needed to enable their customers to create automated tests for web applications rapidly. They needed to develop a robust record and playback mechanism for Opkey in order to solve the problems faced with existing implementation of Selenium. The user was facing issues in the way Selenium identified elements and in its recording mechanism. Secondly, the user faced issues with the stability of the recording scripts, as there was a frequent need to re-write the scripts.

Solution / Project Overview

Zeptoh Solutions achieved the following milestones while providing the software development services to SSTS, including the development of smart recorder for Opkey SaaS.

• On-demand Installer download
• Quick install (single dialog install) and opening the recorder at the end of installation
• Once installed, directly opening the recorder from the next time onwards (maybe clicking on the JNLP file)
• Ability to insert Assertions while recording
• All recorded steps, assertions along with object and data listed in controller
• Sending the data back to Opkey SaaS through REST Full services.
• Automatic handling of HTTPS recording
• Playback option with Play-Stop-Pause-Stopover
• Include the Selenium (XPath accessor) support in Recorder
• Include Relational API Support (Business level relations, DOM relations, Positional relation, Parent relations) eg. Near, Under and others.

The team at Zeptoh included 3 people, which took the responsibilities of leading the project and integration, support and modules integration.

Benefits
