For the past three years I have been working inside a development group that needed a tester. I learned that CATIA V5 development is done with testing automation that uses Perl to handle pre and post processing for test cases using Perl. The Perl that is part of this comes from MKS Toolkit for Developers. I will be creating these Perl s‎crip‎ts to do the following: • Pre-processing Tasks: o adding the Setting and Licenses to the Framework. o adding the CAD Models to the Framework. o clean Framework folder prior to running the test cases. Can have folders and not have files. • Post-processing Tasks: o create a test case roll up report. o create a folder for the test case run and move the test case run to that folder. The folder name shall come from the date and test case name. o removing the Setting and Licenses from the Framework. o removing the CAD Models from the Framework. o compare test case runs against know files. Validation will use several method and application yet to be defined. I am new to Perl and programming in general. I have taken a few classes years ago but it was never part of my job or high on my list of interests. I am hoping that this site will provide a method of learning Perl and hashing over issues as they come up...
