Earlier this year, we officially launched Provar 2.0, which marked an exciting evolution for Provar. Why is that? This version introduced a whole host of enhancements designed to amplify the testing automation capabilities of the Provar Point and Click Test Builder. 

Provar’s Point and click test builder is one of Provar’s unique benefits. It allows for rapid test creation using an intuitive point-and-click interface. Using the Test Builder, you can quickly create and debug tests in the browser. Simultaneously adding and executing steps to get immediate feedback.

As a result of the new features introduced with Provar 2.0, you can use Test Builder. You can efficiently to rapidly set up and configure tests in just a few clicks. If you’d like to learn more about these recent improvements to Provar, look at the Version 2.0.3 Spring ’20 release notes found here

Below is a high-level overview of some key Test Builder updates that we’re excited to share!

The Top 3 Test Builder Updates in Provar 2.0  


1. More Test Types are Available in Test Builder. 

We’ve added a Test Palette to the Test Builder so that you can add several more common test steps from within it, making it faster than ever to build tests in the browser.

By clicking the Test Palette icon at the top of the Test Builder, many of the most commonly used test steps (listed below) will appear at the bottom.

You can add the following test steps while using the Test Builder to build tests more quickly and easily. 

  • Control: Assert, Break, Fail Test, Finally, For Each, Group Steps, If, Set Values, Sleep, Switch, Wait For, While.
  • Design: Actual Result, And, But, Design Step, Given, Then, When.
  • UI: Add a Table Mapping, Handle a Browser Alert, and UI Navigate.
  • Utility: List, Compare, Match, Replace, Split.

2. Easily Access Custom APIs within the Provar Test Builder.

Custom test steps are a way to extend the standard features of Provar by writing your logic in the form of a custom API and invoking it quickly across all test cases. For example, you can create a custom API to trigger an External ANT task from a test case. 

You can now access custom test APIs directly within the Test Builder by opening the Test Palette and clicking My Test APIs. 

(Tip: You will only see the My Test APIs icon if you have already created a custom API via Provar Desktop.)

3. Customizing Test Builder Experience with the Addition of Light and Dark Themes.

Provar 2.0 brings a new Provar UI and light and dark themes. We added these to make it easier to use Provar in different lighting conditions. And to contrast with other desktop applications as needed.

You can now switch between light and dark modes by clicking the Settings icon within Test Builder.

Please note that light and dark modes for Provar Desktop and the Test Builder work independently, allowing you to apply one mode in Provar Desktop and another in Test Builder or the same in each.
