Profiling is creating an offline model of an application under test (AUT), which involves mimicking a UI model of an AUT using nodes, features and UI elements

Creating an offline model

1. Login to algoshack.net > algoQA > Profiler.
2. In the Create project window, enter the appropriate name and select appropriate Automation type from the Application Type drop-down list.
3. Click Create to view the main canvas screen.
4. In the left pane, select More Menu on the appropriate Node configuration folder  and select Upload to upload the downloaded .csv file.
5. Click Submit.
6. In the Project Explorer page, drag and drop the node to the main canvas.
7. Expand each node to view the Palette pop-up window in the right pane. In the Node Name text box, enter the same name as the page name. Similarly, add the appropriate node names for the remaining nodes and use the connectors to connect the nodes.
8. Upon successful node configuration, you can see all the UI elements within the feature. By default, one feature will be configured.
9. In the required feature, update the five attributes of UI element, such as control name, control value, navigation, business rules, test data or control value and locator. Similarly, repeat the step to update the attributes for all other UI elements.
10. On the Main canvas, click Save.

Recording the scenarios using FollowMe feature

Follow Me feature is used to record and save the workflow or scenario or use case. Scenario will be saved in the same sequence it has been recorded. 

Note: Recording for the FollowMe feature is done in offline model. It doesn’t interact with the live application.

User actions -Adding two numbers

1. Open calculator application
2. Select two numbers and click + button to add two numbers
3. Verify the addition of two numbers

To record a scenario, follow the steps: 

On the Main Canvas, click Follow Me feature o to view Record Scenarios pop-up window. 

Enter the scenario name, outline and click Create to create a sequence. Create Profile Sequences pop-up window appears. All the available nodes are listed in the window. 

Select the required feature (Cal Menu ) under Node (calculator) to view all the added UI element details as shown:

Similarly, select all the required features and the associated UI elements to create a sequence. Click Ok. Scenario flow has been recorded. Click Submit. 

In the Recorded Scenarios window, click Analyze to save the recorded scenario. Once the scenario is successfully saved, you will see a 'Scenario created successfully' message.

Tip: You can select multiple UI elements repeatedly in a single workflow.

Generating Test Cases

To generate test cases, perform the following: 

1. On the Main canvas, click Generate Test case.
2. The generated test cases are stored in the generated test case folder. The test case folder includes updated XLS and Feature Files.
