Using the Internet Explorer Wizard

The Internet Explorer wizard (IE wizard) is used to create Reveille Tests that can perform the following functions.

Test a Java™ Swing Applet

Testing a Java Swing Applet involves the following:

• Navigating to a Web site containing a Java Swing Applet.
• Interacting with the Applet.
• Recording the Applet state.
• Comparing the recorded Applet state with the expected state.

Test a Web site

Testing a Web site involves the following:

• Navigating to the Web site.
• Retrieving the Web site's HTML output.
• Comparing the output with the expected response.

The IE wizard provides several options facilitating the testing of Web sites, including the ability to specify user credentials (which is an important feature for restricted Web sites requiring authentication), the ability to ignore popup windows, the ability to run a Test before adding it to a Monitor, and the use of Session Variables.
