Automation Debugging


Automation Debugging:
   It is a process of identifying & removing errors from a project
   Logging & Breakpoints are two techniques which helps to the project as error-free.
   Logging – Display details about what is happening in a project in Output panel.
   Breakpoints – It enables user to pause the execution, find out the status at particular point in Project.


Example:
1.       Select the True branch between the Input Dialog and Flow Decision activities, and press Delete. The True branch has been deleted.
2.       Add a Log Message activity next to the Flow Decision.

3.       Connect the Log Message activity to the True branch of the Flow Decision and to the Input Dialog activity. The automation should look as in the following screenshot.




4.       Select the Log Message. The Properties panel is updated accordingly.
5.       From the Level list, select Error, and in the Message field type what error message to be returned, such as "Invalid user name." When you execute the project, the error message is displayed in the Output panel every time the user does not fill in the Hello World window.
6.       Press F5 to execute the automation and do not fill in the Hello World window the first time when you are prompted. The Output panel has logged the error message you added at step 5.



7.      On the Execute tab, in the Debug group, from the Options menu, select Log Activities. This will display logs in the Output panel.
8.       Select the Log Message activity and, on the Execute tab, in the Debug group, click Toggle Breakpoint. Note that a small that a red dot with white stripes is displayed next to it. This signals that this activity has a breakpoint applied.



9.    On the Execute tab, in the Launch group, click Start Debug. The debugging process starts and the Hello World window is displayed.
10.  Do not fill in the field and click OK. The breakpoint has been triggered and, as a result, the automation stopped. Note that, in the Output panel, the error and all steps covered until now have been logged, and the Log Message activity is highlighted.



11.   On the Execute tab, in the Launch group, click Stop. An information dialog box is displayed, letting you know that the debugging process has been canceled.

Types of Recording

Types of Recording: 4 types of recording modes are available Ø   Basic Ø   Desktop Ø   Web Ø   Citrix 2 ways of Recording Ø   Automatic Ø   Manual Basic – generates a full selector for each activity and no container, the resulted automation is slower than one that uses containers and is suitable for single activities. Desktop – suitable for all types of desktop apps and multiple actions; it is faster than the Basic recorder, and generates a container (with the selector of the top-level window) in which activities are enclosed, and partial selectors for each activity. Web – designed for recording in web apps and browsers (supported: Internet Explorer, Google Chrome), generates containers and uses the Simulate Type/Click input method by default. Citrix – used to record virtualized environments (VNC, virtual machines, Citrix, etc.) or SAP, permits only image, text and keyboard automation, and requires explici...

Variables, Data Types and Math Operations

  In order to do anything interesting in a program, we must have the ability to store and manipulate values. What allows us to do that are what we call variables. Now a variable, simply put, is just named data storage. Now Java is a strongly ‑ typed language. Now what that means is that when we declare a variable like, in this case, we have a variable named data Value, we have to specify the type of that variable, in this case, it's what we call an int, something that can store integers. So, what that means is that the data Value variable can only store things that are compatible with the type int. As we go through the course, we'll talk about this idea of one type being compatible with another. Now when we declare a variable, we can, of course, then assign a value to it, so our variable data Value now holds the value 100. Now when we use variables, we can do it the way we've done here where we declare it, then assign it, or as a matter of convenience, we can declare them a...

Create a Variable: On the Design ribbon tab, in the Variables group, select Create Variable > [Type of variable] . The Create Variable window is displayed Fill in the required fields and click OK . The variable is created and you can view and edit it in the Variables panel. 1.In the Properties panel of any activity, right-click a field that can be edited, and select Create Variable from the context menu, or press Ctrl+K....
