Ranorex again and Unlocker

Now I know what a pre-alpha release means... I wrote several genious automatic tests and once in a while after renaming a test-bundle, all my code-customizations were gone and the standard-generated code was there. Very annoying! I pointed that out in the Ranorex-forum and they advised me to use inheritance. Quite a good tip and works for me :)

Another tool I don't want to miss anymore is Unlocker. Whenever you want to delete or rename a folder (e.g. C:\Programme\Weinmann) and a process still has a hold on some files (e.g. Visual Studio, Ranorex Studio or Explorer), you can see that with this tool and even cut off the handle to the file and continue with work :)

Book review "SOA?" and Ranorex

I recently finished (actually "flew over") the SOA-book: too academic and packed with stuff I don't bother. So don't waste your time with that book.

Today, I installed Ranorex: a GUI automation testing tool which can generate C#-code (yes! no scripting-bullshit like AutoIt or Workspace Macro Pro). With that, you can easily record test cases and elaborate them enhancing the generated code. One day and I managed to make a setup-test for the VENTIlogic: start WEINMANNsupport, select automatic port-search, create a new patient with !!!random!!! name, start the import, after import start WEINMANNadjust, connect to the device via automatic port-search, load "Werkseinstellungen" and change some parameters. Did I already mentioned the best? You can validate the results - great!

New look and ISO Recorder

New look :) I finally found the "=" characters ;)

One tool I don't want to miss anymore is ISO Recorder (create iso-files for WEINMANNsupport-Setup or SD-card-simulation). It integrates nicely into the context menu.

I hate select case

*Gähn* the SOA-book (SOA?) is sooo booooring. The business-part is too big. I fought to page 117 of 390 and no software in sight. I'll give it a try at least till 16.12. - on that day I have to return it to the library.
