Ranorex Forum

Hi,

I have application under test which is windows application. Application area is divided into segments(compartments) in which images are displayed. This image has some text, labels and other information. And we do some operation, text or labels are changing accordingly.

So my question is, Ranorex recognise as screenshot of each segments. What would be best way to validate if i perform some operation e.g. zoom/pan/scroll/drawn an rectangle on the image whether really these operations happened.

One way is to capture the image as bitmap and compare but any diff will may pass or fail our step.
e.g. we are trying to pan, took the screenshot before panning, after performing pan taken the screenshot and compere, it might be possible that instead on pan something else happened and hence there is difference and therefore its passed.

Kindly suggest, looking forward.

Hi Subodh,

In general, you need to ensure a consistent state of your application when running a test against it. Especially, when comparing images, the application under test must behave like expected.

... it might be possible that instead on pan something else happened and hence there is difference and therefore its passed.

Why would this happen? A automated test scenario will exactly do the steps as recorded. So there shouldn't be any differences from one execution to another.

Hope this makes sense.

Cheers,
Robin

Thanks for the response.

Any other solution rather than comparing the image screenshot.

That would be really appreciated.

Since these operations do visibly effect the UI, recognized as screenshots, the best way would be to compare those screenshots.
