Monitor Test Specification

Author: Libor Martinek, Martin Schovanek
Version: 1.1.3
Last update: 04.02.2005
Introduction: The HTTP Monitor collects data about HTTP requests and allows the user to view that data through a GUI component of the IDE. The Monitor is intended to be a tool for helping debug web applications by allowing a JSP/Servlet developer to view specific information about a request and to save and replay transactions. In Netbeans 4.1 is possible to deploy web application on Sun Java System Application Server 8.1,which don't support the monitor by default.You must change it in Appserver properties before deploying application.
Test on both Tomcat and Application server.

Test suite 1: Opening HTTP Monitor Purpose: To verify thaty monitor is properly opened at all conditions. Setup: Have mounted a webmodule and HTTP Monitor closed. # Test case Description 1 Open HTTP Monitor by main window menu 1. In the main window, select the Window menu. 2. Select HTTP Monitor from the Window menu. RESULT: HTTP Monitor should be displayed. 2 Open HTTP Monitor by mnemonic 1. With the main window active, use 'Alt-W' to open the Window menu. 2. Use the 'H' mnemonic to select HTTP Monitor. RESULT: HTTP Monitor should be displayed. 3 Open HTTP Monitor by shortcut 1. Press Ctrl + 7. RESULT: HTTP Monitor should be displayed. 4 Open HTTP Monitor from toolbar 1. Right click the main toolbar line and choose 'Debug'. 2. Click the HTTP Monitor button on toolbar. RESULT: HTTP Monitor should be displayed. 5 Open HTTP Monitor by debugging a JSP 1. Open a JSP in the source editor. 2. Set some breakpoints in the JSP. 3. Start the debugger on the JSP by Run > Run Other > Run ".jsp" in Debugger. RESULT: HTTP Monitor should be displayed. 6 Open HTTP Monitor by debugging a Servlet 1. Open a servlet in the source editor. 2. Set some breakpoints in the servlet. 3. Start the debugger on the servlet by Run > Run Other > Run ".java" in Debugger. RESULT: HTTP Monitor should be displayed. Teardown:

Test suite 2: GUI Integrity Purpose: Assuring all GUI parts are on proper place. Setup: Open HTTP monitor with some current and also with some saved records. # Test case Description 1 Windows System 1. Move HTTP Monitor to other places/tabs.

RESULT: All record's data are correctly displayed. 3 Sorting of records 1. Sort records by time asc./desc. and by alphabet. RESULT: Records have to be ordered corectly. 4 Sorting of query strings 1. Sort query strings by alphabet asc./desc. and unsort. 2. Move to other tab and back to check whether sorting preserves. RESULT: Query strings have to be ordered corectly. 5 Sorting of headers 1. Sort headers by alphabet asc./desc. and unsort. 2. Move to other tab and back to check whether sorting preserves. RESULT: Headers have to be ordered corectly. 6 Show timestamp 1. Show and hide timestamp of records. RESULT: Timestamp have to be shown/hidden corectly. Teardown:

Test suite 3: Work with records Purpose: Save, delete and reply records. Setup: Have webmodule with a JSP. # Test case Description 1 Save records 1. Save records. RESULT: Record has to move from current to saved. 2 Save multiple records 1. Save multiple selected records. 2. Try to save multiple selected records acroos current and saved folder. RESULT: Record has to move from current to saved. Save multiple selected records across both folders shouldn't be allowed. 3 Delete record 1. Delete record from current folder. 2. Delete record from save folder. RESULT: Records have to properly deleted. 4 Delete all record 1. Delete all record from current folder. 2. Delete all record from save folder. 3. Delete all record.

RESULT: No error should appear. 6 Delete multiple selected records 1. Select multiple selected records from current folder. 2. Select multiple selected records from saved folder. 3. Select multiple selected records across current and saved folder. 4. Delete all record from save folder. 5. Delete all record. RESULT: No error should appear. 7 Reply record 1. Reply current record. 2. Reply saved record. RESULT: The request represented by the record should be replayed. The request should be sent to the browser and a new record should be recorded by Monitor for the replay request. 8 Reply record 1. Edit and Reply current record. 2. Edit and Reply saved record. RESULT: The request represented by the record should be replayed. The request should be sent to the browser and a new record should be recorded by Monitor for the replay request. 9 Session Cookie 1. Use Mozilla as external browser. 2. Open monitor and click on "Use the browser's session cookies for replay." 3. Execute createCookies.jsp. 4. Execute showCookies.jsp. 5. Open Cookies Manager in Mozilla and remove TestCookie1 6. Right-click on showCookies entry in monitor and select Replay. You should not see TestCookie1, just TestCookie2. 7. click on "Use recorded session cookies for replay. 8. Right-click on showCookies entry in monitor and select Replay. You should see both TestCookie1 and TestCookie2. RESULT: Browser's session cookies and recorded session cookies should be used properly. Teardown:

Test suite 5: Editing Records Purpose: Assuring that Gui that make possible to edit record expose desired functionality.

RESULT: Cookie should be visible on Cookie tab 5 Choose Headers tab. 1. Change or add parameters of headers. RESULT: Created headers should be visible. Teardown:

Test suite 6: Internal HTTP Server Purpose: Internal HTTP server is required for HTTP Monitor to proper work. Setup: Internal HTTP server is running on port 8082, HTTP Monitor is open. # Test case Description 1 Change port of internal HTTP server 1. Stop the internal HTTP Server 2. Change the port number 3. Start internal HTTP Server 4. RESULT: Http monitor does't intercept records. 2 Execute with internal HTTP server stopped 1. Stop internal Http server 2. Make the request. RESULT: Http monitor does't intercept records. Teardown:

Test suite 7: Other functions Purpose: Setup: # Test case Description 1 Automatic Update 1. Open the HTTP Monitor window if it is not already opened. 2. Make requests for JSPs and servlets while the Monitor window is open. RESULT: The Monitor window should automatically update with records for the new requests. 2 Restart 1.
