Explore the sample MyFlight application

Explore the sample MyFlight application installed with OpenText Functional Testing before you start GUI testing or API testing. Access both the GUI and API layers to understand the user and back-end processes you'll need to test.

Flight GUI layer

The MyFlight application is the user interface layer of the sample application used in this tutorial.

To explore the MyFlight app:

  1. Open the Flight GUI application (available from the Windows Start menu).

  2. Log in using John as the Username and hp as the password.

  3. Use the MyFlight app to create a flight reservation. On each page, enter the required details, including cities, dates, and passenger details.

    As you navigate through the user interface, consider the user actions you'll want to test, and the test objects you'll need to create in OpenText Functional Testing to represent the user interface elements in your test.

    When you're done, click New Search to return the application to the start page.

  4. Start GUI testing. See GUI testing tutorial.

Flight API layer

The Flight API service layer represents the back-end API layer of the MyFlight sample application.

To view the API services:

  1. Open Flight API (available from the Windows Start menu).

  2. Click the Help button to see a description of the methods included in the application.

    Explore each one, noting the property details provided for each method. You'll use this data later on when designing a test that provides property values for each method.

  3. Start API testing. See API testing tutorial.
