Senior Automation Engineer Akien MacIain has done it once again. Much like his breakthough VBScript++ article, this detailed and high-quality article give a great insight into complex code structures in VBScript and QTP, while keeping things as simple and as approachable as possible.
This time, Akien focuses on simulating event driven code in VBScript - and important and interesting concept.
Thanks again, Akien, for putting so much effort into helping the QTP and VBScript community!

VBScript++

Yaron Assa — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 22:57:57 +0000

Akien MacIain, Senior Automation Engineer, has invested a great deal of his time in preparing a wonderful tutorial to his advanced Object-Oriented implementation in VBScript: VBScript++
While VBScript++ interfaces are quite understandable and intuative (as these things go, at least), it's meant to the more savy programmers than the run-of-the-mill automation engineer.
Akien's tutorial is an excellent doorway to a more complex world, and is a very recommended read to anyone who wish to broaden his horizens, or anyone interested in a very well thought of framework.
Thanks, Akien, for putting so much effort into helping the QTP and VBScript community!

Test Design Studio 2 – an updated review

Yaron Assa — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 19:33:57 +0000

I’ve previously reviewed TDS (Test Design Studio) version 1, and I still stand by what I said back then, TDS was an invaluable tool that increased my productivity tenfold, by giving me full intellisence, autocomplete for variables and a solution-centric approach to managing my tests. I recommend reading our old review to get a more complete rundown of TDS’s features.

This follow-on review takes a second look at the old TDS version, as well as the new TDS 2 release.

Accessing PRIVATE properties in .Net controls

Yaron Assa — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:01:55 +0000

When automating .Net controls, we sometimes need to access vital information from the application's RunTime objects. However, this information maybe stored in Private properties and fields, which are not accessible by any "conventional" mean.
This article will present a hack which will allow you to explore private .Net properties and fields, and read relevant information from them during your test run.
This ability may prove critical, especially when working with custom .Net controls. Enjoy.
