The
Phantom Test Driver (PTD) is a full featured script development
and execution environment for Phantom scripts. Key features of PTD
include a built-in script editor, a script debugger, multi-script
execution capability, remote execution capability, and much more.
PTD is the perfect tool for application functional testing and regression
testing. Phantom scripts can be organized and executed as groups
called Suites, with the output combined in an easy to read format.
Each Suite contains a group of Testcases - individual Phantom scripts.
For application testing purposes, each Testcase can test a particular
application feature, with similar Testcases grouped into Suites.
In this way, an entire application feature set can be tested through
a single action, with all output and results presented in an easy
to read format.
PTD is seamlessly integrated with the Phantom script engine and
can run any Phantom script.
New Features in Version 2.0
PTD version 2.0 is a complete redesign. Many new features are included
that complement the new features of Phantom version 2.0.
PTD now includes an integrated Phantom script debugger. This powerful
tool significantly aids in Phantom script problem resolution. The
debugger allows single step execution of Phantom scripts and includes
variable watch and breakpoint functionality.
Another major new feature in PTD version 2.0 is the ability to remotely
execute Phantom scripts. By interacting with the Phantom Agent,
PTD can control Suite and Testcase execution on multiple machines.
The Phantom Agent is a thin interface for the Phantom engine installed
on remote machines. PTD communicates with the Phantom Agent, sending
information on what scripts to run. All output from the remote machines
are sent back to PTD and displayed in the PTD output window.
Many other new features are also present in PTD version 2.0. A summary
of these new features is shown below:
- Multi-Script Execution
- Phantom Script Debugger
- Remote Execution
- Color Coded Script Editor
- Built-in Window Declarations
