You can play back all your recorded actions, such as starting
an application, the actions you perform, and stopping the application.
There are several prerequisites to meet before you can reliably play
back a script
Before you begin
To ensure that the script runs smoothly, perform the following
prerequisites before playing back your script:
- Add sleep timers to the script if your host application has windows
that take an abnormally long time, or your network connection is slow.
Sleep timers cause the play engine to pause before sending input to
the host or before trying to perform a test on the slow host window.
- Your actions, such as typing, clicking the mouse, and pressing
buttons, are recorded into the script. If you have interacted with
the host application prior to the host application being initialized,
see Interacting
with the host using the keyboard.
- If your host application uses keys other than the function keys
to cause the host window to change, Functional Tester might not recognize
the keys as host aid keys. For more information, see Using host key aids.
Procedure
- Save changes in your script.
- Click the Run Functional Test Script
icon on the toolbar.
