WorX is a locally installed Manual Testing Acceleratorthat will change the way you do manual testing forever.

DiSEqC Settings. DiSEqC – Digital Satellite Equipment Control – has been introduced by the European satellite provider Eutelsat as an open standard. It enables receivers to control peripheral hardware such as LNBs, multi-dish switches and antenna rotors. In most cases DiSEqC is used for switching between satellite positions.

WorX creates new tests for you by recording your actions against the system you’re testing and writing that sequence directly into Word or Excel.

WorX runs existing tests by “locking on” to those Word & Excel files out on the file system and then guiding you through the documented steps. During recording and execution, the test case in Word or Excel gets tucked away down on the task bar but can be modified by you at any time.

By keeping the test steps in Word and Excel, your authoring freedom is preserved and you avoid the time and cost associated with migrating your test suite into a new system.

For each Word and Excel test case, an entry is also made in our Test Management system pointing to the physical location of the Word document or Excel workbook. By doing this, we can use the powerful features of our Test Management system to trace those Word & Excel test cases to Requirements & Incidents in our Test Management System, we can group and sort them into Test Sets, and we can report coverage and execution results using the various Dashboards, Charts, and Reports.

When we “run” a test from our Test Management system, WorX is launched automatically. WorX fetches the physical Word or Excel test case out on the file system, and accelerates our execution of the test steps with powerful & vibrant features & functions.

For each execution, a new date/time stamped copy of our test case is created, the execution is timed, and the results are transported back to our Test Management system.

WorX allows us to freely modify our test cases during execution and then gives us the option to update the master test case so that the changes can be carried forward into future executions.

Test Cases Today

Manual tests can be found all over the world inside Word documents and Excel spreadsheets and it’s easy to understand why literally billions of test cases are authored in these tools:

• • They are the Gold Standard for business documentation, and are rolled-out automatically on the machines we use.
  • They are easy to learn and require little training.
  • They’re inexpensive.
  • They give us incredible authoring freedom and offer powerful features and functions that allow us to write very rich test cases in very little time.
  • We have the flexibility to use any number of columns and rows.
  • We have the same tools at home and so we can transport work from the office to home and back again.
  • Documents and Spreadsheets can be easily shared, copied, pasted, emailed, printed, and stored in any location on the local workstation, on a network, on portable media, or even in the cloud.
  • No special database or storage facility is required. Our test documents and workbooks are self-containing in terms of their own content.
  • We are free to describe our test steps in any level of granularity.
  • We can apply the company Templates, Logos, Graphics & Colours and can incorporate Tables, Hyperlinks, Bulleted Lists, etc with ease.

Challenges

Despite these freedoms, test teams often struggle with a common set of challenges:

Organisation

If we think about our test cases in Word & Excel, these are simply files on the file system, and there might be hundreds or thousands of these arranged in various directories. Each time a new build is released, the team might copy a whole directory of test cases to do a new execution run, and so we can end up with many duplicates of the same test case… some of these will be out of date, and so things can quite quickly become disorganised.

Even organising our test cases into logical groups for Smoke tests, or Full Regression tests, or tests for Build 108… this can be a challenge because a test case might belong to more than one of those groups and so there is a high risk that we’ll end up with duplicates. Word and Excel don’t help us with this organisation.

Execution

Word & Excel are great authoring tools but they’re not so good as testing tools… they don’t do anything for us at run time to speed things up:

1. They don’t time our execution for us
2. They don’t make a new copy of the test case for us automatically and date/time stamp it – every time we do a new execution
3. They don’t integrate with defect tracking systems
4. Word and Excel don’t enter our input data for us into the system we’re testing

So execution today is entirely manual and it stays that way from one build to the next.

Maintenance

It will usually be during execution that we spot that the test case is out of date. It might be a spelling mistake, or an outdated screenshot, or there might be entire test steps that need adding or deleting… so the process usually involves making a note of the change during execution and then revisiting the test case after execution to actually make the change… and we have to make sure that we update the right copy of the test case so that future executions don’t run into the same problem.

So there’s a bit of a maintenance nightmare that goes on – especially where a hardcopy of the test case is printed and it sits physically on the table in front of the test engineer. It’s physically impossible to update the test case during execution in these situations.

Collation of Results

At the end of the day we need to collate all our passes and fails and results with those of our teammates into a central location so that we can draw progress reports from there.

Migration

Where Test Cases are migrated out of Word and Excel and into a new dedicated testing tool, this process often comes with its own headaches:

Conversion

The Test Cases often need to be massaged or converted into a new format compatible with the new tool, and are not always at the level of granularity required.

Incompatible Content

Content is sometimes left behind during the migration process as the new tool is incapable of hosting it.

Proprietary Updating

When migration is complete, the Test Cases may only be updated using the new Software which may now require network access, an install of the new testing tool, and access to an available license – and these must be present on any workstation where updating is to be performed.

Transportation

Test Case transportation options may cease – impacting the ability for them to be accessed or moved freely between office, home, customers, vendors, and other project members.

Where tests continue to be executed manually, it can be difficult to find a business case for the migration effort – especially if there are few efficiency gains to be enjoyed in the new environment.
