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 explicit positioning


Note:
Desktop, Basic and Web Recording toolbars are quite similar and enable you to:
Ø  Automatically record multiple actions performed on the screen
Ø  Manually record single actions, such as:
ü  Starting or closing an application or web browser
ü  Clicking an interface element
ü  Selecting an option from a drop-down list
ü  Selecting a check box
ü  Simulating keystrokes or keyboard shortcuts
ü  Copying text from a UI element or performing screen scraping
ü  Looking for elements or waiting for them to vanish
ü  Finding an image
ü  Activating a window


Citrix Recording toolbar supports only Manual Recording (Single Actions) & enables you to:
ü  Click an image or text
ü  Simulate keystrokes or hotkeys
ü  Select and copy text from a window
ü  Scrape UI elements
ü  Look for elements or wait for them to vanish
ü  Find an image or wait for it to vanish
