Any way of scripting for automating the application, without record and reply.....

Hi,

This is hari. i have a question to ask.
some time back, i have used this telerik test studio trail for automating our client application(6 months back). We did this as a POC to our client (my client is already using telerik controls in our application,hence there are customer/client to you also).
But at that time, you supported only record and replay for automating the applications.

from that time, we are looking for any tools in the market which automate our silverlight application with out concept of record and replay. ( reason for not going to record and replay procedure is if any change in the application will need to re-record again).

Recently we found a tool called TestComplete 8(smartbear.com), which supports record n replay and J#/VB Script/Delphi/C++/C# scripting method, which really suits to our requirement and started working on this scripting way to automate our application.

This tool is 80% successful in completing our requirement(20% lags becos its in emerging state, need to be fix the issues what customers raises) please find below C# scripting to login in to my application for reference using testcomplete 8:
*************************************************************************************************************************

function Login()

{

var iexplore, URL,app,bi,us,pwd,lb;

 

iexplore =

 

TestedApps["iexplore"]["Run"]();

 

URL = "http://xxxxxxxxx/xxx/";

if (!iexplore.WaitPage("*", 10000)["Exists"])

 

 

Sys["Keys"]("[Esc]");

 

iexplore["WaitPage"]("*", 2000)["ToURL"](URL);

iexplore.WaitChild("form1",5000);

app = iexplore["Page"]("http://xxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxx/")["Form"]("form1")["Panel"]("silverlightControlHost")["Object"]("XXXSLApp");

 

bi = app["SlObject"]("RadBusyIndicator","");

us = bi["SlObject"]("PART_ExtendedTextbox");

us.Keys("username");

pwd = bi["SlObject"]("Password");

pwd.Keys("password");

lb = bi["SlObject"]("LoginButton");

lb.Click();

}

*************************************************************************************************************************

We went with POC of this to our customer using testcomplete 8(they are customer to you also bcos using telerik controls in our silverlight application). They are happy with the approch of us, but they were asking us to check whether this scripting procedure of automating the application is available with telerik also.

Please let me know if this kind of approach is available to automate our application in telerik or not. Your response is going to be big help for us.

Thanks.,
Hari/wish
