\"I<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I've never used Dr. Web. I have no idea how it works. But that didn't stop me from writing a number of automated tests for it (only my laziness prevented me from writing a hundred more):<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Dr. Web Installation Test;<\/li>\n
  2. Test for restricting access to removable devices (USB flash drives);<\/li>\n
  3. Test for access control to a directory between programs;<\/li>\n
  4. Test for access control to a directory between system users (parental control).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Such and many other tests can be churned out like hotcakes, not just for Dr. Web and not just for antivirus software. In this article, I will explain how to do this.<\/p>\n

    <\/a><\/noindex><\/p>\n

    Preparation<\/h1>\n

    <\/p>\n

    For the tests, we will need a virtual machine running Windows. I prepared it manually by performing the following actions:<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. I installed Windows 10 Pro x64;<\/li>\n
    2. During the installation, I created the main user \"testo\" with the password \"1111\";<\/li>\n
    3. I enabled auto-login for this user;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      <\/p>\n

      To automate the tests, I will use the Testo platform. You can read about what it is and how to use it here<\/a><\/noindex>. Right now, we need to import the ready-made virtual machine into the automated tests. It's very simple to do:<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      \"I<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Here it's assumed that \/path\/to\/win10.qcow2<\/code> \u2014 this is the path to the disk of the virtual machine that I prepared manually. This concludes the preparation, and the action begins. <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Test #1 \u2014 Installing Dr. Web!<\/h1>\n

      <\/p>\n

      First, we need to address the issue of transferring the Dr. Web distribution to the virtual machine. This can be done (for example) using a USB flash drive:<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      \"I<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      All we need to do is place the Dr. Web installer in the folder ${DR_WEB_DIR}<\/code> (the exact value of this parameter will be specified when launching testo<\/code>). And Testo will take care of ensuring that this installer ends up on the USB flash drive.<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Now we can proceed to actually writing the test. For now, let's start the test with simple things: we will turn on the virtual machine (it will be off after creation), wait for the desktop to appear, connect the USB flash drive, and open its contents using Explorer:<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      \"I<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Screenshot at the moment of scenario completion<\/b><\/p>\n

      \"I<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Of course, we can run the installer directly from here, from the flash drive. But we'll do it the proper way \u2014 we will copy the installer to the desktop and run the installer from there. How do we copy the file? How would a person do it?<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      \"I<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Screenshot during the file copying process<\/b><\/p>\n

      \"I<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      All done, the copying has been successfully completed! You can now close the window with the USB flash drive and remove it:<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      \"I<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Screenshot after closing the explorer<\/b><\/p>\n

      \"I<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Now that the installer is on the desktop, we need to double-click on it to start the installation process. The installation itself involves simply clicking buttons and checking boxes, which is not very interesting:<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      \"I<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Screenshot at the end of the installation<\/b><\/p>\n

      \"I<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      We finish our test with a reboot. And in the end, let's not forget to check that the Dr. Web icon appears on the desktop after reboot:<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      \"I<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Screenshot after reboot<\/b><\/p>\n

      \"I<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Great job! We have automated the installation of the Dr. Web antivirus! Let's take a short break and see how it looks in action:<\/p>\n

      \n

      \r\n \"Play\r\n
      <\/div>\r\n <\/div><\/center><\/p>\n

      Let's move on to feature testing.<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Test No. 2 \u2014 Limiting access to USB drives<\/h1>\n

      <\/p>\n

      The first feature on the list is limiting access to USB drives. For this, we will plan a rather straightforward test:<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. We will try to insert a USB flash drive and create an empty file on it \u2014 that should work. We'll remove the USB drive;<\/li>\n
      2. We will enable the removable device blocking in Dr. Web Security Center;<\/li>\n
      3. We will insert the USB drive again and try to delete the created file. The action should be blocked.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        <\/p>\n

        Let\u2019s create a new USB flash drive, plug it into Windows, and try to create a folder. What could be simpler?<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        \"I<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        Screenshot at the moment of scenario completion<\/b><\/p>\n

        \"I<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        We create a new text file through the context menu of the explorer:<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        \"I<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        Screenshot after renaming the file<\/b><\/p>\n

        \"I<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        We safely disconnect the USB drive:<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        \"I<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        Now we have confirmed that we can work with the USB drive, so we can proceed to block it in the Dr. Web Security Center. For this, we first need to open the Security Center:<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        \"I<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        Screenshot of the Security Center window<\/b><\/p>\n

        \"I<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        We can notice that opening any application in Windows requires essentially the same steps (clicking on the search bar, waiting for the popular applications window to appear, typing the name of the desired application, waiting for it to show up in the list, and finally pressing Enter). Therefore, this group of actions can be highlighted in a macro open_app<\/code>, where the name of the application to be opened will be passed as a parameter:<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        \"I<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        This macro will come in handy.<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        The first thing we will do when we open the Dr. Web Security Center is to enable the ability to make changes:<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        \"I<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        Now let's click through the menus a bit and go to the menu \"Configure device access rules\". In this menu, we will check the box for \"Block removable media.\"<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        \"I<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        Screenshot of the Devices and Personal Data window<\/b><\/p>\n

        \"I<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        Let's try to open the flash drive now:<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        \"I<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        Screenshot of the error message<\/b><\/p>\n

        \"I<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        This way, little by little, we've written our first test for testing a quite tangible feature in Dr. Web. It's time to take a break and meditate while looking at the results of our efforts:<\/p>\n

        Test No. 3 \u2014 Access Restriction to Directory Between Programs<\/h1>\n

        <\/p>\n

        The main idea of this test case is to check how Dr. Web functions when access to a certain folder is restricted. Specifically, we need to protect the folder from any modifications, but add an exception for a third-party program. The test itself looks as follows:<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. We will install a third-party program on the OS, for which we will later add an exception for access to the protected folder. Today's third-party program of the day is the file manager FreeCommander.<\/a><\/noindex>;<\/li>\n
        2. We create a folder with a file that we will protect at all costs;<\/li>\n
        3. We will open the Dr. Web security center and enable protection for this folder;<\/li>\n
        4. We will configure an exception for FreeCommander;<\/li>\n
        5. Let's try to delete the file from the protected folder in the usual way (through Windows Explorer). It should not work;<\/li>\n
        6. Let's try to delete the file using FreeCommander. It should work.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Phew, a lot of work. The sooner we start, the sooner we'll finish.<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          The first step, installing FreeCommander, is not much different from installing Dr.Web. The usual routine: we plugged in the flash drive, launched the installer, and so on. Let's skip this and go straight to the interesting part. <\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          If you're still curious about how to install FreeCommander:<\/b><\/p>\n

          Let's start simple: we will create a flash drive where we will place the FreeCommander distribution, and then in the test, we will insert the flash drive into the OS and open it:<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          \"I<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Next, a few clicks to start the installation:<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          \"I<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          The installation isn't very interesting, we just click \"Next\" everywhere, and at the end, don't forget to uncheck the options for viewing ReadMe and starting FreeCommander immediately.<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          \"I<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          We end the test by closing all windows and removing the flash drive.<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          \"I<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Done!<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          To work with Dr. Web, let's create a new test dr_web_restrict_program<\/code>, which will rely on the results of the previous test. win10_install_freecommander<\/code>.<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Let's start the test by creating a folder named Protected on the desktop:<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          \"I<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Screenshot after creating the folder<\/b><\/p>\n

          \"I<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          We enter the Protected folder and create a file there: my_file.txt<\/code>, which will act as the protected file:<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          \"I<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Oh, I should have also formatted this as a macro, but oh well ...<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Screenshot after creating the file<\/b><\/p>\n

          \"I<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Great, now we need to enable folder protection. We go down the familiar path and open Dr. Web, and don't forget to enable the modification mode. After that, we go to the menu \"Data Loss Prevention.\"<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          \"I<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Screenshot of the Data Loss Prevention window<\/b><\/p>\n

          \"I<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Let\u2019s work a bit with the mouse and add our folder Protected to the list of protected ones:<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          \"I<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Screenshot with the wizard for adding a protected folder<\/b><\/p>\n

          \"I<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Now we need to set up an access exception for FreeCommander. A bit more work with the mouse:<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          \"I<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Screenshot with the added exception program<\/b><\/p>\n

          \"I<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Now carefully close all windows and try to delete the file \"my_file.txt\" in the usual way:<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          \"I<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Screenshot with the message from Dr.Web<\/b><\/p>\n

          \"I<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          But it didn\u2019t work \u2014 it means Dr. Web actually did its job! Half of the test is done, but we still need to check if the exception for FreeCommander will work. To do this, we open FreeCommander and go to the Protected folder:<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          \"I<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Screenshot with the FreeCommander window<\/b><\/p>\n

          \"I<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Now let\u2019s try to delete the file my_file.txt:<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          \"I<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Screenshot after deleting the file<\/b><\/p>\n

          \"I<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          The exception for FreeCommander works!<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Great job! A big and complex test case \u2014 and everything is automated. A bit of relaxation:<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          We will build the last test case of the day as follows:<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Create a new user MySuperUser;<\/li>\n
          2. Log in as this user;<\/li>\n
          3. Create a file my_file.txt<\/code> on behalf of the new user;<\/li>\n
          4. Open the Dr. Web security center and enable parental control for this file;<\/li>\n
          5. In parental control, limit the permissions of the user MySuperUser for the file he created;<\/li>\n
          6. Try to read and delete the file my_file.txt<\/code> on behalf of MySuperUser and see the result.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            <\/p>\n

            I won't provide the test scenario here. It follows the same principle as the previous tests: actively working with the mouse and keyboard. Meanwhile, we don't care what we are automating \u2014 whether it's Dr.Web or creating a new user in Windows. But let\u2019s see what such a test run will look like:<\/p>\n
