GUI dialog example

Below is a screen shot of Smartware Mortgage, a sample GUI application which is included on the SmartTest installation CD. 

This application has many fields, buttons, etc that are found in typical GUI applications.

Smartware Mortgage (sample GUI application) 

The fields and values in Smartware Mortgage can easily be entered into SmartTest.  Below is a screen shot of the SmartTest test input tab.   Notice that each field in Smartware Mortgage is a parameter, and the selections for the fields are the values.  For example, Employment Status is a parameter and in the GUI, the combo box has values 'Employed', 'Self-Employed', and 'Unemployed'.  The parameter is shown as the column header and the values for that parameter are entered below it in the column.  For text fields you need to create data as you normally would.  Below you can see how a few of the fields and values are entered.

GUI fields and values are entered directly into SmartTest on the Input tab. 

Like all applications, SmartWare Mortgage has a few business rules (or requirements).  The business rules are as follows:

1. Primary Applicant Age must be at least 21, and if employed the primary applicant age must be less than 65.
2. Primary Applicant must be employed at least 12 months if Self-Employed.
3. Primary Applicant must be employed at least 6 months for regular employment.
4. If unemployed then deny application.
5. Credit score must be greater then 550 for loan approval.
6. If property type is commercial then deny application.
7. Appraised value must be less than or equal to $1,000,000
8. Appraised value must be at least $100,000
9. Loan Amount Requested must be less or equal to 85% of Purchase Price
10. Loan amount must be greater than $300,000 for 30 yr Jumbo and 5/1 ARM Jumbo
11. If Single applicant, approved amount = yearly income x 3.25
12. If Joint application, approved amount =  2.75 x Joint Income.

These requirements can be entered in the Rules tab (shown below).  You can see how some of the above rules appear after being entered into SmartTest.

The rules shown in the screen shot above we entered with the Rules Builder (shown below).  Rules can be entered manually by typing them in or by clicking on the appropriate parameters, operators and values in the Rules Builder to have the rules automatically built for you.

A parameter called “Expected Results” is automatically generated for each test. With this parameter the Expected results for each test row can be entered in the rules builder as shown in the following example.  Whenever a certain condition is true (or false) for a particular row, an action can be created to write whatever text you want in the Expected Results parameter.  Any test meeting that condition will have the specified Expected Result for that row. For example, the Smartware Mortgage expected results for a row in which the Primary Applicant Age is 20 (violating business rule #1), the expected results might be “Loan Application Denied”.
