Recorded Tests
Posted: Tue Jul 01, 2014 1:14 pm
Hi,
A client of my Company decided to develop an Automation suite for their UAT, according to our recommendation they purchased Ranorex, since it is the best tool to test our application.
unfortunately they decided to use recording instead of coding.
my problem is as follow:
the recording show the following
1. Key Sequence {F5}
this above activity is to be done on a custom textBox, they claim on their site it works fine. when i try to run it on my machine it works around 20% of the times.
Ranorex might be pressing F5, but the result doesn't appear on the screen.
I tried recording on my machine to debug and try and solve it, i got the following
1. sometimes it will record as Above
2. on other occasion it will record the following
2.1 Key Shortcut Down {F5}
2.2 Key Shortcut Up {F5}
When recording like in option 1 it will only work well at around 20% of the time when playing the recording.
When recording like in option 2 it works well at around 95% of the time when playing the recording.
Question is:
1. How does Ranorex decide which way to record?
2. Can i control that from Configuration?
3. can i easily replace all the occurrences of option 1 with option 2 in the recording i got from the client? there are around 200 occurrences
