Salesforce Lightning tests

Salesforce Lightning (SFL) controls are composite controls that are built using several other controls. When you record a test, the action on the composite control gets recorded. If the playback on these controls does not work, then you must generate an event on its parent control, which can be a hyperlink or an image button. To change the control, in the Elements view, you must click the required control, and then select Use this element as step target. The step then gets modified.

Here are the sample scenarios that require test edits after recording:

• If any option from the drop-down menu records as a span element, then you must select the SFL Base Combo item from the Elements view as the target element.
  Note: When you record actions on the drop-down menu, you must click the left part of the drop-down text value. You should avoid clicking the middle or right side of the drop-down text value.
• For an SVG element, you must select its parent, which is either an SFL Icon or SFL Primitive Icon that is nearest to the element in the hierarchy.
• If you want to create steps or verification points, you must use the Elements view. You cannot use the SmartShot view to create steps or verification points for Salesforce applications.
• After you record a test, if any step that is recorded as span fails when you play back, then you must select the actionable parent control as the target element for the user action.
• While recording, when you perform user actions, the highlight might be on some other element. You must ignore this behaviour.
