WPF Add-in Extensibility

OpenText Functional Testing WPF Add-in Extensibility enables you to develop support for testing third-party and custom WPF controls that are not supported out-of-the-box by the OpenText Functional Testing WPF Add-in.

If the test object class that OpenText Functional Testing uses to represent a control does not provide the operations and properties necessary to operate on your control, you can use WPF Add-in Extensibility to create a new test object class.

You can then map the control to the new test object class, and design the test object class behavior using .NET programming. You can program how operations are performed on the control and how properties are retrieved.

You can also teach OpenText Functional Testing to treat a control that contains a set of lower-level controls as a single functional control, instead of relating to each lower-level control separately.

To implement WPF Add-in Extensibility, you need to be familiar with:

  • OpenText Functional Testing and its Object Model Reference

  • The behavior of the custom control (operations, properties, events)

  • .NET programming in C#

  • XML (basic knowledge)

Install the WPF Add-in Extensibility SDK from the Add-in Extensibility and Web 2.0 Toolkits option in the OpenText Functional Testing setup program.
