Working with simplified scripting
- Simplified scripting
Simplified test scripts are functional test scripts in the form of simple English statements that are easy to understand and edit. This feature is enabled by default in the HCL OneTest™ UI Preferences window. - Enabling simplified scripting
Simplified scripts are functional test scripts in the form of simple English statements that are easy to understand and edit. When you record actions on the test application using the recorder, the functional test script is generated and displayed as a simplified test script in the Script editor. - Creating a simplified test script
Use the recording feature of HCL OneTest UI, to record actions on the test applications. The actions on the test applications are generated in the form of a simplified test script when you stop recording. The generated simplified test script is displayed in the simplified Script editor in HCL OneTest UI. You can also view the corresponding Java™ code of the recorded test script in the Java script editor. - Editing a simplified script
You can edit a test line in the script editor and also modify the test line properties, such as the control actions in the Properties View. - Inserting conditional statements
You can insert conditional statements to verify the values of the variables in the script and perform actions in the application. - Specifying the playback options for a simplified script
You can set the wait time for a control to be displayed or pause an execution of a test line for a simplified script. - Handling exceptions during script playback
If an exception occurs during script playback, you can specify how HCL OneTest UI handles these exceptions. - Specifying the log details for a test script
You can specify the message to be displayed in the log for a test line that has run. You can also specify the type of screen capture that must be taken during playback and displayed in the log so that you can view the state of the control or the screen in the test application. - Deleting a test line
You can delete a test line from a script in the script editor. The application visual that is captured and displayed while recording the test script is not deleted from the Application view. - Working with application visuals
Application visuals are snapshots of the controls or screens of the test application that are captured while recording scripts. The visuals of the test application are captured only if both the simplified scripting and the application visuals feature preferences are enabled. - Switching to Java scripting
You can switch to Java scripting to insert Java code to perform additional operations such as extending an API or functions that cannot be performed directly in the simplified script editor. To use both the simplified script and Java scripting, you must use the Insert Java Code Snippet or Insert Java Method feature that is available in the simplified script editor and switch to Java scripting. If you modify the Java script directly without using these features, the Java script changes are lost and the simplified script runs during playback. - Exporting a simplified script
You can export the simplified scripts in a .txt, .xml or .html format so that the script can be viewed outside HCL OneTest UI. - Simplified scripting
