QlikView Testing tools

[rajeshvaswani77]

Hi Community Folks,

Could you please suggest on any tools that can be used to:

• Automate QlikView dashboard testing

• Access code coverage of the dashboard tests

• Access the coding standards being followed or not

Thanks,

There is no Testing tools offered by Qlik. But you can use JMeter to perform the stress test on the Dashboards.

For code testing, you can write documents on standard on the scripting , data model and UI design and use this documents on the code review session.

There is no testing tools. But while developing a qlikview application usually I have to follow this

1) Avoid synthetic keys and circular loop

2) use start schema data modelling

3) remove unused fields

4) use aggregated data instead of granular level data (It depends on client requirement)

5) avoid if condition

6) unwanted shared object remove in the server

7) use auto number function for creating the complex keys & keys

😎 use incremental load to reduce the refresh time

Qlik does have something that can be used as a testing tool - which you can find here:

•      QV Scalability Tools (QV10,QV11,QV12)

               Don't let the name or title confuse you - it is much more than a scalability tool.

               Amongst other things there is regression testing options in this tool. An entire section

               of the documentation covers just that aspect.

Furthermore third parties also cover testing:

• Rob Wunderlich, the main contributor of Document Analyzer has been instrumental in creating and maintaining this open source project on GitHub:

          Document Analyzer V2 -- a major update

• And a commercial third-party tool from In4BI  called  Platform Manager covers testing and more.

Hi Petter,

This is an interesting reply.

Could you please shed light on the test part of the Platform Manager, if you have used and your experience.

Thanks,

You should contact In4BI directly, they will give you the information you need. What I gave you was just a tip. I have only seen a brief demo of the product, talked to their representative at a conference and read their marketing material. It seemed like a sound product to me.

Google "In4BI Product Manager" and find their contact info. I am sure they will be happy to help you and give you good references too.

Hi All,

Are there any other ways of automating the testing part in QlikView.

Thanks,

Is it the UI-part you want to test. If so which client? Is it sufficient to test the QlikView Desktop or is it necessary to test the UI in a web-browser?

Hi Petter,

Sufficient to test the QlikView desktop.

Hi Petter / Rajesh,

Thank you for the info,

"

"

So can you shed some light on you inputs on any other tool ?

Petter,

As i can see there QV Scalability Tools (QV10,QV11,QV12) link you have shared seems good but i am unable to get actual picture on how this works. like i can see they are talking about JMeter and other stuff which is required  ? for me to do the regression test ?

So can you please guide me on this ?

Thank You.
