Manual Testing

There are 5 different manual interfaces delivered with XStudio.

Depending on your needs and/or taste, you can choose the one(s) you prefer.
By experience, 80% of the users prefer using the Tabular step manual interface or the Tree step manual interface but you may prefer a more sequential way to execute your tests.

How to choose a manual launcher?

XQual is delivered with 5 different interfaces for manual testing (and many more for automated testing). Each interface has its pros and cons but 2 main criteria will guide your choice:

• The type of presentation (sequential, spreadsheet/tabular or hierarchical)
• At which level you wish to report your results (at test case or step level)

	Test case	Step
Hierarchical		Tree Step Manual
Spreadsheet/Tabular	Tabular Manual	Tabular Step Manual
Sequential	Simple Manual	Manual

Radar (pros and cons of each)

The "Tree Step Manual" interface is available by selecting the tree_step_manual.jar launcher in the category's Details tab.

This is an interface that looks really similar to the GUI you have in XStudio itself when you are working on the test tree. Hence, users tend to like it very much because of its simplicity, low memory footprint and responsiveness.

You just select a test case on the left panel and submit your results and comments on the right-hand side panel.

Screenshots

Pros	Cons
compact interface comfortable and familiar interface very fast/reactive GUI ability to run the test case in a not-specific order when re-running a session, previous results and comments are immediately visible	need to click on a node of the tree before submitting a result

The "Tabular Step Manual" interface (tabular_step_manual.jar)

The "Tabular Step Manual" interface is available by selecting the tabular_step_manual.jar launcher in the category's Details tab.

This is an interface that displays all the information (all the tests and all the test cases) in only one big scrollable panel. One column for the tests and one column for the test cases. It will look familiar to users who are used to write their test procedures with Excel. One result (and comment) can be set to each step.

You just need to scroll down to check the test and test case information and submit your results.

Screenshots

Pros	Cons
very simple to use ability to run the test case in a not-specific order when re-running a session, previous results and comments are immediately visible	with very big campaigns it consumes a lot of RAM as all the data are stored in-memory with very big campaigns it can be slow to scroll that huge spreadsheet

The "Tabular Manual" interface (tabular_manual.jar)

The "Tabular Manual" interface is available by selecting the tabular_manual.jar launcher in the category's Details tab.

This is an interface that displays all the information (all the tests and all the test cases) in only one big scrollable panel. One column for the tests and one column for the test cases. It will look familiar to users who are used to write their test procedure with Excel. One result (and comment) can be set to each test case.

The "Simple Manual" interface (simple_manual.jar)

The "Simple Manual" interface is available by selecting the simple_manual.jar launcher in the category's Details tab.

This interface displays the information sequentially (test description, then test prerequisites, then test case description, then test case procedure etc.). All the steps of the test case procedure are displayed in one page though. The GUI is compact and it displays only a very few data at a time so it is a very clear interface.

Screenshots

Navigation Bar

This interface is sequential. It means you need to manually navigate through the test/test cases (in the order that has been specified in the campaign). To do so, the GUI includes a navigation bar to control the execution of the tests:

    Go back to previous test case
     Restart current test case
     Pause current test case
    Resume current test case
    Go forward to next test case
   Go forward to next test

Pros	Cons
compact interface adapted for offshore test execution	need to constantly use the navigation toolbar to navigate through test cases can't jump directly to a test at the end of the campaign when re-running a session, can't see previous results and comments not practical to re-run a campaign no rich-text for the comments time-consuming

The "Manual" interface (manual.jar)

The "Manual" interface is available by selecting the manual.jar launcher in the category's Details tab.

This interface displays the information sequentially (test description, then test prerequisites, then test case description, then the first step description, then the first step expected result, then the second step description etc.). The GUI is compact and it displays only a very few data at a time so it is a very clear interface.

compact interface adapted for offshore test execution very detailed reporting (at step and check level!)	need to constantly use the navigation toolbar to navigate through test cases can't jump directly to a test at the end of the campaign when re-running a session, can't see previous results and comments not practical to re-run a campaign no rich-text for the comments very time-consuming
