What is Siebel Test Automation?
Siebel 7.7 introduces a series of new test automation interfaces that optimize the testing platform and eliminate many of the well-known pain points intrinsic to generic test automation technologies. The new Siebel Test Automation (STA) module dramatically reduces the cost of both functional and load/performance testing. This enables customers to -- for the first time -- truly maximize the value of their automated testing strategies.
Note that the Siebel Test Automation Solution has been built upon the Siebel 7.7 foundation and will only be available starting Siebel 7.7 and beyond.
What are the points to take care before starting with automation on Siebel 7.7.x app?
* Verify the Siebel Test Automation module is installed and enabled
From the Siebel add-in 8.0 readme file (in the "Supported Environment" section):
"The QuickTest Professional Siebel Add-in supports recording and running tests and components on the following versions of Siebel eBusiness applications:
- Siebel 7.7.x, only when the Siebel Test Automation module is installed and enabled.
Note:
There is an entry in a Siebel server side config file that must be set to TRUE. Make sure the correct entry is set:
EnableAutomation = TRUE
not:
EnableWebClientAutomation = TRUE
* Also Make sure the URL for the log-in page of your Siebel server includes the SWECmd=AutoOn token.
Example:
http://hostname/callcenter/start.swe?SWECmd=AutoOn.
If you do not append this token, the Siebel Web Engine (SWE) does not generate test automation information.
If you select the "Open the following application when a record or run session begins" option in the Siebel tab of the "Record and Run Settings" dialog box, QuickTest Professional automatically appends the Siebel Test Automation information to the URL (you do not need to specify it manually in the URL).
How to verify that the Siebel Test Automation module is installed?
Check that the list of running processes in the Windows Task Manager includes a process named SiebelAx_Test_A. This process will appear only after you have logged into the Siebel application.
Does Mercury QTP care what mode the Siebel application is in (HI vs. SI)?
Support for High Interactivity applications is different from support for Standard Interactivity applications. When recording a script against a HI application, the script mostly contains calls into the Siebel-provided test automation API. In contrast, when recording a script against a pure SI application or against a SI component that is embedded within an HI application (e.g. customer dashboard, query assistant, search center), the script mostly contains calls that use Mercury’s native scripting syntax.

I am using QTP to test a Siebel app, how can I setup my scripts so I can change the URL for a set of scripts instead of going into each one?
Hi..
Our company has started implementing Siebel 8.0.
It would be really great if someone can tell me is there any way we can automate using QTP for Seibel 8.0 version.
Note: I checked the Siebel Add-in readme and it says that it supports 7.7xxx.
Appreciate you response in advance.
Thanks,
Srinivas

Hi Uma shankar
You are required to change the .cfg file in Siebel server (restart the server recommended). And in the QTP recording settings, enter "SWECmd=AutoOn".
Example
http://hostname/callcenter/start.swe?SWECmd=AutoOn
Try this.
This is really very good site for knowledge sharing.
All necessary info anyone can find in this site.
Ankur you are doing a fantastic job.
