Maveryx

Maveryx Test Automation Framework is a Cross-platform tool and it runs on Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.

• Desktop applications such as Java, .NET, WPF, MFC., and more.
• Web technologies such as HTML, HTML5, JavaScript framework, Ajax, and more.
• Cross-browser testing for Internet Explorer, Edge, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.

Maveryx provides Java and C# APIs to create test scripts. Testers and developers using Java can work in the Eclipse editor, and those using C# can work in Visual Studio.

Maveryx tests can be run from the command line or with ANT or Maven. This allows integrating Maveryx tests within almost any continuous integration (CI) system such as Jenkins, Azure DevOps Server, Bamboo, TeamCity, and many others. Any CI automation server that uses tools like Gradle, Maven, or ANT can run Maveryx tests as part of the build process. As Maveryx tests are executable jar files or exe files, they can be incorporated within any ALM, Continuous Integration, Build Integration, Test Management and Software Project Management tools supporting the execution of these types of files.

Maveryx-for-Eclipse is a set of software tools for the Java Eclipse IDE that enables testers and developers to design, build, and run Maveryx tests directly in Eclipse.

The plug-in helps users to:

• Create new Maveryx test projects and classes
• Generate test stubs
• Run tests
• View test results and metrics

Maveryx automatically generates a report at the end of every test execution. The Framework creates an XML-based test report that provides a view of the entire test run, including test cases passed and failed in a tabular format. The report also contains chart metrics. Moreover, for each test case Maveryx produces a log with detailed information about the test objects, executed actions, and screenshots. The Maveryx Eclipse plug-in creates live charts and reports during test execution.

Maveryx provides an extensible plug-in system. Users can add specific capabilities or customize the existing functionalities with separate plug-ins.

Maveryx supports plug-ins for many reasons, including:

• to add new APIs and Keywords
• to add support for custom, unsupported GUI controls

Maveryx identifies the GUI objects to test dynamically at runtime during the test execution, without requiring pre-recordings or using any Spy tool, GUI Map or Object Repository. Maveryx identifies the GUI objects to test dynamically at runtime during test execution.[3] Running a test, Maveryx automatically performs the scan of the current application's user interface. The result of this scanning is processed by an Intelligent Object Recognition engine that uniquely identifies and locates the test objects. Avoiding recordings, GUI Maps and Object Repositories, there is no need for the application under test to start writing the automated tests. Testers can create the automated scripts early in the software lifecycle, in parallel to the application development. Those tests can be immediately executed as soon as the desktop or web application is available for testing.

Maveryx's Intelligent Object Recognition engine has several patterns–matching capabilities. It uses classical to fuzzy searching algorithms to identify the test objects, even if they have changed since test creation or if a partial description is given in the test scripts.  

Some of the matching algorithms include:

• Exact: allows searching for a test object exactly as it is defined in the script
• Case Insensitive: same as Exact, but case-insensitive
• Partial: allows finding a match on partial data
• Levenshtein distance: allows approximate matching with fuzzy logic, using the edit distance

This technology allows writing automated tests from unstable, lacking or partial specifications. It enables testers to automate tests resilient to frequent application user interface changes, avoiding continuous reworking of the test scripts.

With Maveryx, it is also possible to identify the GUI objects to test by screenshot images. By providing a snapshot of the test object, the Maveryx's Image Matching engine allows searching and finding its location in a larger image of the application under test. With this technology, it is possible to automate Adobe video/audio players, flash games, map navigations, and much more.

Maveryx supports data-driven testing. This allows users to separate test data from test commands and run automated tests with different sets of data. With Maveryx, test data can be retrieved from external sources such as Excel worksheets, CSV or XML files. Maveryx also provides a built-in Test Data Generator to automatically generate complex data sets starting from data specifications.

Maveryx supports code-free, Keyword-driven testing. Non-programmers and non-technical testers can develop automated test cases as data tables in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, CSV or XML files. Each row in the data table contains the test action (keyword) to be performed as well as input, expected output and information on the object to test. The Keyword-driven Framework supports data-driven testing and has a plugin architecture which allows users to add new keywords.
