Can Ranorex Detect Alerts (sound being triggered)

[Naplespoet]

Ok here is a new one for me....



I am using ranorex 6(latest version)

this isn't a bug but i tried to see if could find a way to do this as this is my first time dealing with this ....

I have an application that has a timer ... so in 30 mins make an alert go off ( bell sound or train sound whatever...) the concern is not really the audio that comes out , just that it attempted to ring , does that make sense?

in 30 mins this alert should happen and user should hear some sound, sound not important just that it attempted to play the sound.

its a webpage (works in IE/Chrome)

does anyone have maybe an idea or approach I can see that would help me achieve this.

Hey Naplespoet,

There's definitely no way to somehow check if the sound is actually played.

The only way I can think of to check whether the sound is played is to find an "UI representative" of the action, e.g. a microphone icon is displayed or something similar. This visual interpretation can be validated using Ranorex.

Hope this makes sense.

Cheers,
Robin

That's a good idea. yeah the icon doesn't change at all i had thought the same thing if speaker changed to a speaker icon with volumes. Its not a critical test case they need but first time hearing this. OK ill continue on. thanks

This should be quite helpful. The last answer seems to fit quite well and the 1st one offers a solution as well.
