Creating a blind fuzz test: random mouse/keyboard entry.
Hi all,
Our software is a fullscreen application divided into different sections. Click in different areas reveals different recorded path names etc by TestComplete.
I'm interested to see if, as an aside from our normal testing, I can setup a simple script to blindly do the following anywhere around the interface - so not linked to names of screen components etc.
Actions to create a Fuzzy Blind Monkey test:
mouse entry
Random single clicks
Double clicks on same location (to confirm)
Random drags from A to B
keyboard entry
Enter button pressed at intervals
Escape button occasionally pressed
Random keyboard entry alphabet only
Random down and up arrows
Is there some code (I usually create scripts in jscript) that can achieve the basic random mouse click and keyboard entry to get me started?
Many thanks!

- Hi David,
You can use Sys.Desktop.Width, Math.floor(int) and math.random()
to simulate random clicks across the screen, something like
var xlocation = Math.floor(Math.random() * Sys.Desktop.Width);
var ylocation = Math.floor(Math.random() * Sys.Desktop.Height);
Sys.Desktop.MouseDown(1, xlocation, ylocation);
Sys.Desktop.MouseUp(1, xlocation, ylocation);
And to simulate a random key you can use windows VK Key Codes with the "Sys.Desktop.KeyDown(key)" method.
for example to generate a key between A-Z you could use something like
var randkey = 30 + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 60))
*Also don't forget to release the key using the .KeyUp method
