1. Conversion of Non-Avo scripts to Avo scripts

Why Was This Developed?

When a company wishes to switch from one test automation platform to another, managing its current investment is one of the main migration issues. The migration process occurs at an enterprise level, aiming to convert scripts into Avo's format. Avo has created a utility tool that enables businesses to transfer from any non-Avo automation platform to Avo Assure, allowing them to better use their current automation investment.

What Is The Goal?

The Avo Script Conversion feature is designed to convert existing automation scripts from non-Avo tools to Avo Assure, which is streamlined using the Avo Genius extension.

How Does It Work?

The Avo Genius extension recognizes patterns and logic in the user's current automation scripts and converts them into a compatible format for use within Avo Assure.

  • Chrome Driver Extension: Essential for web automation tasks.

  • Avo Genius Extension: This extension enhances functionality and interactivity with the Avo platform. To install or relaunch the Avo Genius Extension, Click here.

  • Web Browser: A current version of Google Chrome.

  • Prepare Your Scripts: Before conversion, review your existing scripts for any custom code or unique functionalities that might need special attention during conversion.

Capabilities:

  • The Avo script conversion tool stands out for its versatility, automatically detecting any execution browser and recording every interaction with web elements. This feature ensures that the tool operates independently of the non-Avo platform.

  • The Avo conversion feature can convert the scripts no matter the automation tool or programming language used for scripts.

Limitations:

  • The Avo script conversion tool is designed to track interactions with web elements within a browser. However, it lacks the capability to capture complex logic that is defined using scripts outside of the Avo tool, as its functionality is limited to script-dependent processes.
