PowerBuilder Automated Testing Support
AscentialTest provides PowerBuilder automated testing support for applications from PB v6.x right up to the most current version of Appeon PowerBuilder. The Datawindow is recognized regardless of its presentation style: Form, Grid, Group, Tabular. The image below displays a Datawindow in the form of what we call a PbTable. It has rows and columns that can contain any number of control types (checkbox, popuplist, textfield, etc.).
PowerBuilder Form Support:
AscentialTest also recognizes the Datawindow in the form of what we call ‘PbForm’. Notice that the PbForm displayed below contains many different types of application objects including PbText, PbTextField, PbRadioGroup and PbCheckBox. These are only some of the control types that can be included on a form.
Other control types include:
PbCheckBox
PbComboList
PbComboTable
PbCompute
PbDataWindow
PbPopupList
PbPopupTable
PbRadioGroup
PbText
PbTextField
PowerBuilder Ribbon Bar Support:
Appeon recently introduced the ribbon bar as an alternative to the toolbar. As compared to the standard tool bar, the ribbon bar can contain PowerBuilder elements like Checkbox, TextField, PopupList and ComboBox:

AscentialTest support for PowerBuilder elements contained in a ribbon bar works the same way that it does for elements contained in a datawindow.
PowerServer Automated Testing Support
Support for PowerServer web applications is also available beginning with PS 2020 GA. Since you can run tests created for your PowerBuilder classic application against the PowerServer web version without having to make any changes, you can validate that your deployed application works exactly the same as the legacy version.
