WE HAVE MOVED !!!

You’ve probably got here looking for info on Fitnium

I started this blog while still hosting Fitnium on my own Website

Early 2010 I moved Fitnium to Google Groups : http://groups.google.com/group/fitnium

And the source code is hosted on SourceForge : http://sourceforge.net/projects/fitnium/files/

Now that everything is collected in one place on Google Groups I will no longer post to this blog

Feel free to join us on Google Groups or download Fitnium from SourceForge

2.0.0 will revert back to 1.4.0

keiffster — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 13:54:54 +0000

I thought the changes I was going to put into 1.3.0 would warrant a full upgrade of the version to 2.0.0. The inclusion of Flex and Flash support would have added a huge amount of capability to Fitnium….

Unfortunately the open source libraries that are available to support Flex and Flash are incomplete, not support well and buggy. So I have pulled these 2 items from the release

Fitnium 1.4.0 now includes

Major rewite of the code to make it more modular
Support for all Selenium RC commands where appropriate including ALL WaitFor commands
Extensibility through the use of custom tokens to autogenerate such things as numbers, text strings, calendars and dates etc
Command Pattern implementation to add you own commands
Extensive API + documentation for all new customizations
Regular expression support over and above what Selenium provides

I think you’ll like it. However I am looking for Beta testers to give it a go for a couple of weeks so that I know I haven’t broken anything major.

After than 1.4.0 will be released and all the code added to sourceforge SVN and I will move the project full time into SourceForge

1.4.0 to become 2.0.0 Release

keiffster — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 07:28:12 +0000

While addign new features to 1.4.0 I started to get concerns that the code base was starting to become very monolithic, all the logic for Fitnium is contained with a single 5000+ class BaseFitniumFixture.java. Some of the new features are starting to add more complex logic to the code, I therefore started looking at options. This has led to a major refactor of the code base. Each suite of API Button, Attribute, Cookie, File etc all now exist in their own classes. BaseFitniumFixture is now pass through or proxy to these classes.

Fitnium being a DoFixture requires all the methods to be in one class but now have a structure like

class BaseFitniumFixture extends DoFixture {

public boolean isElementVisible ( String locator ) {

return FitniumElementAPI.isElementVisible ( this, locator );

}

class FitniumElementAPI extends FitniumAPI {

public boolean isElementVisible ( BaseFitniumFixture fixture, String locator ) {

// Convert any variables to values

// Apply Regular expression logic

// Real logic for checking element for visibility

}

This means I can now apply tests to whole suites of API and makes managing the code base much more easier as you don’t have to scroll up and down a 5000 line class for logic

1.4.0 Fitnium development begins

keiffster — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 21:38:21 +0000

After working on other projects I have started to schedule the next release 1.4 of Fitnium.

This is planned to include

1) All remaining Wait clauses as per Selenium 1.0

2) Regular Expressions when specifying text statement

e.g | is text present | regex=*terl |

3) I’m also thinking about adding timing functions such as

| start stopwatch |

| stop stopwatch |

| reset stopwatch |

| check | stopwatch<10000 | true |

Let me know what you think

Fitnium 1.3 now allows you to create dynamic data through the use of custom classes you can write and add dynamically during execution

It supports the ability read and write data to/from execl spreadsheet to data drive your tests, plus the ability to use or write custom data generators. I have included Integer Counter and Random Number as examples

In addition I have added suport for WaitForElementPresent and WaitForText
