Data driven testing with Marathon

June 18th, 2010

Current version of Marathon does not support data driven testing. However a recorded test case can be changed to fetch the test data from a csv file and run the test multiple times. The “csv” module available in Jython-2.5 is needed to fetch the data. As Marathon is presently bundled with Jython-2.2, it is required to update Jython to version 2.5 to use csv reader. Jython-2.5 can be downloaded from Jython website.

Change in project settings:

Update the Python Home under Python path in Marathon Project Settings to point the installation directory of Jython version 2.5.

Change in test case:

A simple example test case recorded for SampleApp looks as follows:

def test():
    java_recorded_version = '1.5.0_24'

    if window('Simple Widgets'):
        select('First Name', 'TestName')
        select('Password', 'P@ssword')
        select('Email', 'TestName@Email.com')
        select('Address', 'Address1, Line1')
        click('save')

        if window('Simple Widgets(1)'):
            click('OK')
        close()
    close()


Assuming the data to be fetched is in “SampleAppTestData.csv”, modify the test script to fetch the data from the csv as below.

import csv

def test():
    java_recorded_version = '1.5.0_24'

    reader=csv.DictReader(file("<PATH_TO_CSV>/SampleAppTestData.csv"))

    if window('Simple Widgets'):
        for record in reader:
            select('First Name', record["Name"])
            select('Password', record["Password"])
            select('Email', record["EmailID"])
            select('Address', record["Location"])
            click('save')

            if window('Simple Widgets(1)'):
                click('OK')
            close()
    close()


Note that Name, Password, EmailID, Location in record["<keyword>"] are the headers in the csv.
CSV file used in example looks as following:

Name,Password,EmailID,Location
TestName1,P@ssword1,TestName1@Email.com,"Address1, Line1"
TestName2,P@ssword2,TestName2@Email.com,"Address2, Line2"
TestName3,P@ssword3,TestName3@Email.com,"Address3, Line3"
TestName4,P@ssword4,TestName4@Email.com,"Address4, Line4"
TestName5,P@ssword5,TestName5@Email.com,"Address5, Line5"
TestName6,P@ssword6,TestName6@Email.com,"Address6, Line6"
TestName7,P@ssword7,TestName7@Email.com,"Address7, Line7"
TestName8,P@ssword8,TestName8@Email.com,"Address8, Line8"
TestName9,P@ssword9,TestName9@Email.com,"Address9, Line9"
TestName10,P@ssword10,TestName10@Email.com,"Address10, Line10"
TestName11,P@ssword11,TestName11@Email.com,"Address11, Line11"
TestName12,P@ssword12,TestName12@Email.com,"Address12, Line12"
TestName13,P@ssword13,TestName13@Email.com,"Address13, Line13"
TestName14,P@ssword14,TestName14@Email.com,"Address14, Line14"
TestName15,P@ssword15,TestName15@Email.com,"Address15, Line15"
TestName16,P@ssword16,TestName16@Email.com,"Address16, Line16"
TestName17,P@ssword17,TestName17@Email.com,"Address17, Line17"
TestName18,P@ssword18,TestName18@Email.com,"Address18, Line18"

    select(’First Name’, record["Name"]) This is for textbox.

    How can I select combobox value in script if Marathon doesnt record selecting value from Combobox?
