Prepare Mendix project

Add Page Classes

This preparation step is required for Frontend testing.

In order to identify a Mendix Page, it is necessary to fill in the Page class on the Mendix Page in Studio Pro.

If there is already a Page class filled in, it is possible to add another class name, separated with a Space.

A Few Notes

• It is recommended to use the same name for the Class as for the Page.
• It is recommended to Export a list of Mendix Pages (with their Classes) from MTA

Set Microflow Return values

This preparation step is recommended for Backend testing (microflow testing).

If a Microflow creates data that you want to use as input for your test, it is recommended to pass this data as a Return value.

For example, if a Microflow opens a Page, you can set a Return value in that microflow, so the Object that is passed to the page, can be used in MTA.

To find all microflows that have a “show page” activity, open Mendix Studio Pro, go to Edit → Find Advanced and select the following options:

• Choose an optional layout that is used in the project and Mendix will give you a list of “find results”.
• Filter the find results by only showing results of the type “microflows”.
• Check all the microflows of the “find results” and add return types for microflows you want to include in testing.
• Repeat this for all page layouts in use.

A Few Notes

• Only follow these steps for the microflows that you actually want to test.
• If pages are called without Page Parameters, no changes are needed.
• If pages are called with multiple Page Parameters, you have to fill these using the output of a Create or Retrieve teststep.
