How test cases are generated using Testing Anywhere?

- The testing anywhere product comes with a SMART recorder that one can use to create new tests. 

- Clicking on the ‘record’ button will drop down a list of options from which you have to select what type you are testing i.e., a web or windows application type. 

- Then you need to perform the activities on the system that you want to be recorded. 

- You can insert a checkpoint wherever you want by clicking on the check point button. 

- When you are done with recording the tests click on the stop button. 

- You can then save these activities in a test by clicking on the save button. 

- You can playback these test scripts whenever you want and any number of times by clicking on the run button. 

- In testing anywhere product, it does not matter if any change occurs between the size and location of the window of the application while the recording or replaying is in progress. 

- Testing anywhere uses a SMART automation technology that helps in automatically adjusting to those changes.

- Another advantage of using testing anywhere is that you can work up on any number of applications.

- You do not have to finish working up on one application before moving on to the next. 

- You can very well switch between the applications. 

- Testing anywhere even works while your computer is locked. 

- It does so because of the auto log-in capability that is unique to this software. 

- With this, you can schedule the tests and they will be executed even when your system is locked. 

- If this capability is enabled and the system is locked, it will be unlocked by the testing anywhere, the test will be executed and the computer will be locked again. 

- Auto log-in capability lets you run the tests in stealth mode when the system is locked. To do this follow:

Properties à security à run this test in stealth mode

- The execution will then be hidden. 

- Further, if you want to lock the keyboard and mouse you can use the ‘disable mouse and keyboard for this test’ option. 

- If you want to stop the execution of a test just keep holding the escape key for some time. 

- Using the pause key on the keyboard you can pause the test while it is executing. 

- Further clicking on the resume button you can continue with the execution. 

- Another thing that makes testing anywhere unique is that it can run the tests in background. 

- A number of advanced technologies lets you run the tests in background such as:

1.    Web recorder

2.    Object recorder

3.    And a number of other powerful actions

- However, there are some tests like those that are recorded through standard recorder. 

- These tests require mouse and keyboard control and therefore cannot be executed in background. 

- There are few other exceptions also such as commands such as screenshots; image comparison etc. that cannot be run in background.
