How to Check if Rapise Can Test My Delphi Application

In order for Rapise to be able to test a thick-client desktop application written using Delphi, it needs to support Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA), as described in this article - http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/33642

This article demonstrates how to check your application to see if it supports MSAA.

Testing MS-Word With Rapise

We had some customers that were looking to record some tests against Microsoft Word 2010. When testing against MS-Word 2010 there are actually two parts to the application:

  • There is the application ribbon (the menus, navigation, etc.)
  • There is the MS-Word text window where your content is actually displayed

This article provides some strategies for dealing with both areas.

Desktop Application Testing - Choosing the Right Library

Suppose we have a situation that a thick-client (desktop) application under test (AUT) is based on a technology that is too old or not completely supported by Rapise. Rapise has a number of libraries for different types of apps. Usually Rapise finds the correct libraries using its auto-detection, but sometimes an application is unusual and the auto-detection fails.

Executing Under a VM or Remote Desktop

Sometimes you need to test an application running on a VM or remote computer using Remote Desktop (RDP) rather than a physical terminal. This guide explains how to ensure that Rapise is able to correctly fire events on the application under test.

Dynamically Clicking on a Desktop App Button Sample (MS-Word)

We had a customer request for a sample that demonstrates how to click on buttons in a desktop application (in this case a plugin for Microsoft Word) where instead of having to learn each of the buttons individually, you can learn the button container and then loop through the buttons using a Rapise RVL Map.
