Welcome to the Oracle OpenScript Programmers Reference Guide. Oracle OpenScript is an extensible, standards-based test automation platform designed to test the next generation of Web applications. This guide explains the Oracle OpenScript scripting Application Programming Interface (API) used to creating or modifying test scripts used for testing Web applications.
This guide is intended for Web Testing Quality Assurance (QA) engineers who will be modifying OpenScript scripts using the Java-based OpenScript scripting API. OpenScript is based upon the Eclipse development environment. This guide assumes that the users of this guide have Java programming experience and are knowledgeable in using the Eclipse development environment.
The record/playback paradigm of Oracle OpenScript does not require any programming experience to develop scripts for testing. However, the advanced programming features available in Oracle OpenScript do require experience with the Java programming language. The programming sections and code examples of this manual assume that you understand programming concepts in Java.
This guide is organized as follows:
Part I, "Introduction" introduces the OpenScript Programmers Reference and provides basic information for using the OpenScript scripting language and Application Programming Interface (API).
Part II, "Load Testing Modules API Reference" provides a complete listing and reference for the methods in the OpenScript Load Testing Modules Application Programming Interface (API).
Part III, "Functional Testing Modules API Reference" provides a complete listing and reference for the methods in the OpenScript Functional Testing Modules Application Programming Interface (API).
Part IV, "Utility Modules API Reference" provides a complete listing and reference for the methods in the OpenScript Utilities Modules Application Programming Interface (API).
