DB2 Universal Database Windows Automation Framework | Confidential © 2012 IBM Corporation 3 Install FVT Challenges Install works simultaneously on multiple releases (main release & multiple fix packs and Early Release Programs) Coverage on many windows platforms Ex. (Win xp, Win 2003, Win 2008, Win 7, Vista, 32/64bit) Coverage on many modes of Installation. Ex. GUI Install, Silent Install, Upgrade Repeatable Work and Time consuming, can get monotonous 5 PD effort required on Candidate image and 2 PD on committed image for validation.

Tester. Tester developed in Perl, does the assigned job. Efficient notification & Alert mechanism User gets mail notification and SMS alert on mobile.

DB2 Universal Database Windows Automation Framework | Confidential © 2012 IBM Corporation 11 Challenges faced during development Problems 1. Initially the Tester, Installverify, Uninstallverify were developed in VB.net. 2. For any modification had to compile the Tester in VB.net 3. During DB2 uninstallation process DB2 removed certain.net components due to this the component ‘tester’ was getting killed Solutions 1. Developed the Tester, InstallVerify, Uninstallverify in Perl Problems 1. Initially used RFT JAVA scripts for GUI testing 2. Difficult to maintain RFT JAVA scripts and prone to be erroneous Solutions 1. Developed the RFT scripts using Record and Playback options

DB2 Universal Database Windows Automation Framework | Confidential © 2012 IBM Corporation 12 About AutoIT… Works on active window. It can also activate Idle window. able to handle un-expected pop-up window’s during DB2 Installation/Update/Upgrade Supports code to handle windows process. Like start a process, Kill a process, Wait for the process to complete. allows you to modify the scripts dynamically during execution. allows you to move mouse over the screen during execution. AutoIT scripts are very small in size, No need to compile, can be edited using any text editor.

DB2 Universal Database Windows Automation Framework | Confidential © 2012 IBM Corporation 18 Feature & Benefits of WAF Faster Execution Easy to create, modify the jobs If required the framework can reboot the machine and continue the test. Does not require continuous monitoring Protect Users from monotonous & repeated work Helps in customer problem simulation Flexible to extend for other testing

DB2 Universal Database Windows Automation Framework | Confidential © 2012 IBM Corporation 19 Maintenance and Enhancements Machine Maintenance 1. Windows 2008 box with 4GB RAM 2. Perl 3. RFT 4. cygwin utilities 5. Create OS image and store D:\OS_Image folder Tool Maintenance 1. Need to develop RFT scripts for each product 2. Need to develop Install and UnInstall scripts 3. Need to modify tester code based on the requirement
