Test Scripts and Test Results

Test scripts and test results are XML documents. By double-clicking a file in the Web Dynpro Explorer, you can open it for editing. The editor also offers code completion for test scripts.

Test Script

A test script consist of <page> tags. Each <page> tag contains information about a screen displayed to the user, the changes made by the user to the context of the application (for example, entering a name in a field) on the execution of an action, and the action itself (for example, clicked on a Next button).

The <generalinfo> tag contains information about the J2EE server, Web Dynpro runtime, default language, and localization.

In the Replay view, not all tags are displayed. <screen tags> are not displayed. <datachanges> and <actions> tags are displayed.

Test Script Result

A test script result is the result of replaying a test script. It consist of a series of <response>  tags. The pageattribute of a <response> tag corresponds to the pageName attribute of the corresponding  <page> tag in the test script.

Each <response> tag has a <ui> tag which contains the UI information for a screen. If you are recording UI information (you can switch this on under Preferences ® Web Dynpro ® Web Dynpro Tools), the first <ui> tag of a screen will contain the full information for that screen. The following <ui> tags for that particular screen will only contain delta information – for example, if no changes are made, the other <ui> tags will be empty.
