Modifying the recognition properties and weight of a control
HCL OneTest™ UI uses recognition properties to uniquely identify a control. Various recognition properties are assigned different weights for recognition analysis. HCL OneTest™ UI uses these values and weights to identify a control during playback. You can customize the recognition properties and the weights that best suit the controls you are testing.
Before you begin
Java | .Net |
---|---|
java.util.Hashtable getRecognitionProperties() | System.Collections.Hashtable GetRecognitionProperties() |
int getRecognitionPropertyWeight(String propertyName) | int GetRecognitionPropertyWeight(String propertyName) |
Note: With the HCL OneTest™
UI Object
Library feature you can also externalize the recognition properties and weights
of all controls as an XML file. For more information on Object Library, see
the HCL OneTest™
UI help.
The following Java™ sample
adds a new property, ".priorLabel"
, as an additional recognition
property.
Example
import com.rational.test.ft.domain.*;
public class someProxy extends baseProxy
{
.
.
public java.util.Hashtable getRecognitionProperties()
{
java.util.Hashtable properties = super.getRecognitionProperties();
properties.put(".priorLabel", getPriorLabel());
return properties;
}
.
.
.
public Object getRecognitionPropertyWeight(String propertyName)
{
if (propertyName.equals(".priorLabel"))
return 60;
return super.getRecognitionPropertyWeight(propertyName);
}
}
The following .Net sample adds a new property, ".priorLabel"
,
as an additional recognition property.
using Rational.Test.Ft.Domain;
public class AnyProxy:BaseProxy
{
.
.
.
public override System.Collections.Hashtable GetRecognitionProperties()
{
System.Collections.Hashtable properties= base.GetRecognitionProperties();
properties.Add(".priorLabel", GetPriorLabel() );
return properties;
}
.
.
.
public override object GetRecognitionPropertyWeight(string propertyName)
{
if (propertyName == ".priorLabel" )
return 60;
return base.GetRecognitionPropertyWeight(propertyName) ;
}
What to do next
".priorLabel"
, is added for the control
with 60 as the property weight. You can verify this by looking at the Recognition
tab of the TestObject in the Object Map editor.
