Scope:

IS&T web applications contain complex browser-based user interfaces created with JavaScript, HTML and CSS.  The functional/regression test tool we currently use, QTP, only works in Internet Explorer, so it does not test IS&T’s set of supported web browsers. Therefore QTP cannot test individual browser issues.  Also, IS&T needs to evaluate its web applications against new web browsers and changes to the IS&T web application infrastructure (new database, new application server, new VM, etc.)

What we did:

  • We convened a committee with representation from xxxxxxx, and began studying the current web application testing landscape.
  • We looked at a list of X amount of Test Tools and choose 5 worthy of further evaluation, because:
    • They claimed to do Y (expand)
  • We created a test plan to evaluate these Test Tools. The test plan was heavily weighted with DOM manipulation, AJAX and other JavaScript functionality. (expand)
  • We broke up into groups of 1 to 3 users to try each of the 5 Test Tools.
  • We modified the Test Plan as needed.
  • We compared notes and removed three of the Test Tools due to the following issues:
    1. Tool A:
    2. Tool B:
    3. Tool C:
