Other Packages

EMOS Framework is, technically seen, an environment for development of automated WinRunner tests. This environment is particularily suitable for systematical developmet of complex GUI-based tests with strong suport for involvment of non-technical people in the test automation process.

EMOS Framework is from the conceptual point of view an extremely pragmatic approach to design of test cases. This approach is based on a special way of modelling application's GUI and on the reduction of operations that can be performed on it such as "setting" and "checking" the properties/content of GUI elements. It is impressive how many important testing tasks can be solved with simple means. EMOS Framework proves it over and over again.

During design of EMOS Framework special care has been taken to allow involvment of non-technical people into design of automated test cases. We aproach this chalenge by creating the very flexible technical core of the system (which is usually maintained by a single person or only a few specialists even for the very big sytems) and providing a simple "programmatic" interface to it.

The EMOS Framework documentation (this ocument) have been produced from the comments in the source code. We have used our utility WrDoc and Together® to produce this documentation. This is the reason why it is so Java-like. We hope you will find it useful. Sincerely, your EMOS team @ www.emos.de
