status-desktop-ui-test

UI test application for Status Desktop

• Test automation project that uses Squish as a testing tool with BDD.
• Information about its architecture can be found in wiki.

Preparing the environment to develop and run tests

1. Install Squish and run its IDE.
2. File / Open Test Suite and browse to testSuites directory.
3. Once the suite is open, click Test Suite Settings button to configure the AUT (Application Under test).
   • Select AUT tab and browse until the corresponding status-desktop\bin\nim_status_client binary is set.
   • Uncheck Automatically start the AUT option (if it is already checked).
   • Save changes.

Now you should be able to create new suites, test cases and run the existing ones just only by clicking Run buttons!!

Here a more detailed installation guide specific for this project.
