1.    Introduction

1.1. Overview

To evaluate the new smart GWT application (GWT Admin Application) working with QTP to test GWT components in automated mode along with Scimitar framework.

1.2. Objective

As a QA person I can utilized for functional testing of smart GWT -GWT Admin Application with automation tool QTP and Scimitar.

The primary objective for conducting automation POC for GWT Admin Application:

• System requirement for installing and using the QTP with smart GWT application.
• Verify the compatibility of the GWT Admin Application – GWT application with QTP (Automation Tool).
• Verify the compatibility of the GWT Admin Application – GWT application with Scimitar (Automation Tool).
• QTP automation script creation/execution using QTP for smart GWT application GWT Admin Application.

2. Smart GWT Testing

In the context of this document, the “smart GWT testing’ refers to the process that performed the functional testing of the smart GWT component with the help of the QTP. We usually unable to capture the Smart GWT component using the QTP 11, it’s required web add-in to recognize the smart GWT component.  HP Extensibility Accelerator tool play a key role that helps us to create the web add-in which enabled QTP to recognize the Smart GWT component.

2.1.     What is HP Extensibility Accelerator 1.10

HP Extensibility Accelerator for HP Functional Testing provides a Visual Studio-like IDE that accelerates and facilitates the design, development and deployment of HP QuickTest Professional Add-in Extensibility support sets. These support sets extend the HP Functional Testing Web Add-in so you can test Web controls that are not supported out-of-the-box like the Smart WT control
