You can select an object in the test
object map or the Script Explorer and have Functional Tester highlight the
object in the application-under-test.
About this task
To locate objects in the application:
- Start the application. Verify that the page that contains the object
is visible.
- To highlight the object:
- In the test object map, select the object to locate and either click the
Highlight: Test Object button
in
the test object map toolbar or click Test Object > Highlight in
the test object map menu.
- In the Script Explorer, right-click the object to locate and click Highlight.
Functional Tester highlights in the application the object you selected.
If Functional Tester finds more than one instance of the test object, you
can display neither or the top two candidates.
If Functional Tester
cannot find the object, it displays an error message. Some possible reasons
for the error:
- The application is not running or enabled.
- The environment is not enabled.
- The test object is not visible.
- The recognition properties for the test object no longer reflect the
test object in the application.
To specify various aspects of the highlight window (color, width,
flash, and display time), use the Set
Highlight Window Preferences dialog box or the Highlight
page of the Preferences dialog box.
