Smart recorder 73/17/2023 ![]() ![]() Why is it a problem? While popups may only provide a minor annoyance to a human user, they can bring test automation tools completely to a halt. What is it? We all know these pesky intruders that can show up at inopportune moments and frustrate you while using your app. TestProject’s AI will automatically attempt JavaScript clicks to click the element, even if it’s not visible – meaning your test can still execute and return an accurate result. How TestProject can help? With TestProject’s Self-Healing, we can learn how to interact with your elements, even if they aren’t visible to the human eye or tools like Selenium. Because of this, the test will often fail when unable to find the element needed, causing additional false positives in your report. Why is it a problem? Hovering over an area on the screen is nearly impossible with Selenium, and often the cursor will move too quickly to allow the menu to drop down properly and be interacted with. For example, when browsing an e-commerce site, there might be a menu where you can hover your cursor over a menu and a dropdown of options will appear. What is it? Menus that only appear when you put your cursor over them. Simply click through your test scenario normally as any user would, and TestProject’s AI will handle all of the frame switching and complex logic creation for you. How TestProject can help? TestProject’s Smart Recorder can handle iFrames with ease. Otherwise, Selenium will fail to find your locator, since it is looking in the wrong place to begin with. You must build sound logic using code to select the right frame to interact with. Why is it a problem? Working with iFrames using Selenium is not an easy task. Additionally, they are a popular way of embedding 3rd party content (like ads) into a webpage. They are commonly used in more complex packaged applications like Salesforce and SAP. What is it? An iFrame is basically a webpage within another webpage. Better yet, TestProject will update to a more robust locator strategy, so your test will run smoothly in subsequent executions. How TestProject can help? TestProject offers its AI-powered Smart Recorder, which can use Self-Healing technology to update locator strategies when dynamic elements change locators. This means the test may be unable to complete any step where a dynamic element is present, creating many false positives in its wake. Why is it a problem? Changing locators means that whatever static locator was implemented in the original test case will most likely fail to execute in a later execution, since the locator will be different after a fresh page load. ![]() Dynamic elements are common in many of the more complex packaged applications such as Salesforce and SAP Fiori. Oftentimes, it is the ID that changes, as it is generated dynamically on each page load. What is it? Elements that change locators with each page load. ❗ In all the examples below, we used Salesforce application, demonstrating how TestProject’s Smart Recorder seamlessly overcomes these common Selenium challenges, even while automating such a complex application as Salesforce! Dynamic Elements Let’s explore the most common Selenium challenges, and understand how TestProject’s new enhancements can assist in overcoming these challenges with ease. ![]() □ Join TestProject’s CTO Eldar Kravetsky for a LIVE demo of these new capabilities – Hurry up & Register! □ Since TestProject is built on top of Selenium, you can get the benefits of Selenium with additional features to overcome the most common and difficult Selenium challenges, and all 100% for free. In other cases, users must invest heavily in complex coding which can be difficult to maintain in many scenarios.įortunately, TestProject has focused attention and effort on these scenarios, adding AI powered Self Healing technology in its latest release of the Smart Recorder. In our experience working with tens of thousands of different web applications, we have found that the most common challenges in automating with Selenium on its own include the following: Selenium Challengesįor a variety of different reasons, these obstacles can slow down Selenium testing, or even bring it to a halt in many cases. While many users find it easy to get going with Selenium, they can often get tripped up with more complex test scenarios, which cannot be handled easily. Selenium is by far the most popular open source automation framework for functional testing of web applications, with over 81% of respondents using it, according to our State of Open Source Testing 2020 Report. ![]()
