    <p>I'm struggling with AutoIt regression tests. AutoIt was chosen because requirement is <strong>100% blackbox GUI testing</strong> (no intervention to tested project). This solution has nevertheless got some issues, with which I need help.</p> <ul> <li><p><strong>Changing tabs in application</strong> - Because GUI class isn't SysTabControl32, but SWT_Window, example code from GUITab.au3 UDF doesn't work. Current solution is focusing on component and then navigating through tabs with arrow keys. This has a bad influence on test performance (and I don't even want to imagine a future possibility of some tab being disabled).</p></li> <li><p><strong>Timeouts</strong> - When tabs are changing, tests have to delay before they can proceed. The shorter the delay, the bigger the probability of test failure (app wasn't ready for test to continue). This leads to big delays before actions.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Instance numbers</strong> - Identifying instances of controls is a problem. When I wrote some test button <code>OK</code> it had instance number 9. When some buttons were added to the form I had to rewrite the test, because instance number of <code>OK</code> button changed because of this.</p></li> </ul> <p>These three are most important.</p> <p>Changing technology of testing would be hard because of big amount of already written tests. But I would like to write new test in a better way. Sikuli has problems getting text from screen and SWTBot has dependencies in tested projects.</p> <p>Our tests run for 20 hours and when GUI layout changes I need to edit almost every test (instance number problem). Can anybody suggest a solution or workaround for ultra reliable blackbox testing?</p>

    1. COI partly figure out the "tab" problem. I hard-wired coordinates of each tab into tests and now i use MouseClick method to activate them. It's faster but less general.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
