Creating a Web Test Script
A Web test script simulates how an application might interact with an application
block. Typically, you create a test script by recording HTTP requests using the Web
Test Recorder in a browser session.
The following procedures generate a test script in Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition
for Software Testers.
To create a test project
1. Open Visual Studio Team Edition for Testers
2. Create a test project. Click File, point to New and click Visual C# Test.
3. Type a name and click OK.
After you have created a test project you can record a Web test.
To record a Web test
1. If the test project is not open, open it. On the File menu, point to New, and then
click the test project.
2. On the Test menu, click New Test. The Add New Test dialog box appears.
3. Click Web Test.
4. In the Test Name box, type a name. Do not use the .webtest extension. Click OK.
The Web Test Recorder opens inside a new instance of Internet Explorer.
5. Enter the URL of the Web site you want to test.
6. Execute the actions the test will simulate by clicking the appropriate controls, such
as buttons and drop-down list boxes.
7. Click Stop to stop recording.
8. On the File menu, click Save to save the test.
Repeat this procedure for each test that is contained in the test harness.
The tree of nodes that contains URLs in the Web Test Editor is named the request tree.
You can select nodes in the request tree to view the properties associated with each
request after the test is recorded. Figure 3 is an example of a request tree.
