Since ACCELQ is an AI-enabled, codeless test automation platform, the learning curve is extremely short. Here are some tips that can help you get started quickly:
1. Understand the Capabilities ACCELQ Offers Across Different Stages
ACCELQ enables quality lifecycle test management and automation across the testing lifecycle. To start off with it, you need to have a clear understanding of what the platform offers in each stage:
- In the test planning stage, ACCLEQ enables quality-driven development and a blueprint with metadata.
- In the test design stage, it paves the way for efficient data modeling while also offering predictive scenario design capabilities that are business process-driven.
- In the test development stage, the platform enables natural language automation and in-sprint automation along with a UI view analyzer.
- In the test execution stage, ACCELQ allows for cloud lab and grid executions along with self-healing capabilities.
2. Recognize the Different Entities or Building Blocks in ACCELQ
ACCELQ creates and manages test assets in a well-structured and modular fashion to create a sustainable test automation suite. Various entities serve as building blocks and provide a level of abstraction necessary to create a maintainable test asset. These include:
- Context that refers to the state of the application under test
- Action is a meaningful functionality that a tester can perform in the context
- Scenario that represents a use case or test script on the application
- Test case that comprises data for use for different iterations
- Test suite that serves as a collection of scenarios grouped for execution
3. Know the Application Layout
ACCELQ’s UI is divided into five major parts:
- Side navigation bar that groups the application under test into logical sections
- Tabs area that allows testers to view and work on multiple test assets simultaneously and easily navigate between them
- Global toolbar area that offers actions that testers might need at any point in time, including Global Search, New Entity creation, Activity Log, and Run button.
- Help center that shows testers learning resources, support documents, and knowledge base articles based on the asset they are currently viewing or working on
- Project config area and user profile that presents critical project information such as project name, test asset view, current activity, version control, and more, along with the name/ID of the user and the type of license assigned.
4. Make the Most of the Universe
As a visual application model for lifecycle automation, ACCELQ Universe offers a graphical blueprint of the application under test. To that end, you can use the Universe to view a visual map of application assets along with the relations and interactions between them. You can also filter the universe to view a particular subset of the application under test.
5. Build Your First Automation Scenario in ACCELQ
Building an automation scenario in ACCELQ is extremely easy. All you have to do is choose an application on which you want to run test automation, enter your login and password details, create contexts, build actions on the contexts, and set up and execute the scenario.
