Getting Started
Overview
This Getting Started page takes you up to your first test case.
The procedures documented here use Microsoft Word 2007 or 2019 and VUGen r12.x.
​
If you use other versions, the goal can be achieved, but you may need to vary some steps to suit.
The examples use an organisation called DoxRunner and a solution called Cane View.
Goal
The goal is to be able to prepare a semi-structured Solution document containing at least one test case, ready to document the solution's performance testing attributes and apply them to a raw script that is based on that test case, automating many steps that a scripter would need to do.
Register with DoxRunner
During the download step for any of the DoxRunner files, you will be asked to register your email address and create a password.

There are seven files available to download. Three are mandatory, and four are only necessary if you want to use the LoadTest Database facility.
Review the documents
The two documents downloaded from the site form the basis of the system.

Review the Solution document
The Solution document is designed to be the ongoing repository for all details relating to the performance testing of one solution, or of a group of related test cases. One Solution document per solution is recommended.
Follow the More details link for advice on those items that should be reviewed and updated. Not all items need be updated immediately - many items can be updated as they become known, and when time allows. Aim to create at least one test case.
Review the Test Case Template
The Test Case Template is designed to save time when creating test cases. Follow the More details link for advice on those elements that should be reviewed and updated.
Some elements may not be appropriate for your solution, and not all elements need be updated immediately - many items can be updated as as you gain experience in how the application works and how test cases look once created.
Configure DoxRunner
Link the DoxRunner template to Microsoft Word, manage security, and create a Quick Access Toolbar icon.
Create your first test case
Once you have successfully completed the above operations, you should be ready to create your first test case.
