Before you record scripts, you must add the application to the repository so QA Wizard Pro can connect to it. You usually perform this task when you are preparing to test a new application. After an application is added, it can be accessed from any workspace.
1. Choose File > New > New Application.
The Add New Application dialog box opens.
2. On the General tab, select the Type of application you are adding.
Note: If you are testing an application that uses Windows 8-style controls, select Windows 8 instead of Windows. Testing Windows 8 applications is not supported in QA Wizard Pro on Windows 10.
3. Enter the Startup Information. The available fields depend on the application type.
| Application type | Field/option | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Browser | URL | Enter the URL to access the application. |
| Create repository variable | Select this option to create a repository variable that contains the address for the server hosting the web site. You may want to select this option if you are testing against multiple web servers. | |
| %URLROOT% | This field is automatically populated using the server portion of the URL you entered (e.g., www.wysicorp.com). This is the default variable value used when running and recording scripts against the application version. |
|
| Windows | Executable path | Enter the executable path or click Browse to locate the executable. |
| Working directory | Enter the application directory path. This field is automatically populated if you browsed to locate the executable. | |
| Command line arguments | Enter any arguments you want to use to control how the application operates when a script starts it. For example, some applications allow you to pass a filename as an argument when the application starts. | |
| Java | Java application | Enter the Java application path or click Browse to locate the file. |
| Working directory | Enter the application directory path. This field is automatically populated if you browsed to locate the file. | |
| Java launcher | Enter the executable filename that runs the application or click Browse to locate the file. This field is only enabled for .jar files and is automatically populated if you browsed to locate the file. | |
| Command line arguments | Enter any arguments you want to use to control how the application operates when a script starts it. | |
| Windows 8 | Windows 8 application | Select the application from the list. |
4. Enter the application Name. The application name must be unique within the repository.
5. Enter the application Version.
We recommend entering the version of the application you are testing (e.g., 7.2). Each application in the repository contains one or more versions, and each version contains information for starting the application and the data captured during recording.
Note: If you are testing a new version, add a version to the repository instead of an application. See Adding versions.
6. Select the Repository to create the application in.
7. Enter and confirm a Password to password protect the application.
Use a password if you want to control access to application data. You may not want all users to have access to add and modify application data because changes may cause scripts to fail.
8. Click the Name Overrides tab to specify conventions for naming new controls captured when recording scripts or populating the application repository.
9. Click OK.
The application is added to the repository.
Tip: You can also add applications when you record a script. See Recording new scripts.
