8. UFT RECORDING-1

UFT RECORDING-1

Why do we record and run?

1. To find out if UFT is being able to identify objects.
2. We can add checkpoints using Record and in Keyword view.
3. We can opt to add output values.
4. We can use record and run option to learn about objects.
5. Capture objects to the object repository using the Capture button.
6. Change the recording modes while recording.

What are the different types of recording modes?

1. Normal Recording – Default mode
2. Analog Recording
3. Low-Level Mode
4. Insight Mode
5. UI Automation Mode
6. Standard Windows Recording

Describe Normal Recording mode.

Normal recording mode uses the UFTs test object model. Each object is added to the Object Repository with the required properties to identify the objects.

Describe Analog Recording Mode

In Analog recording mode all mouse and keyboard operations with reference to the screen or application window is recorded.

This recording mode used where the object level properties cannot be stored such as Digital Signatures.

The steps are recorded in a separate data file added with the action

It is called from the action by a RunAnalog statement.

It takes more space than normal recording mode.

Describe Low Level Recording Mode

1. Used when the object or actions on it are not supported by UFT.
2. Used when the environment is not supported by UFT.
3. Used when the appearance of objects changes but not the location.
4. All parent level objects are stored as Windows test objects.
5. All other objects are stored as WinObject test objects.
6. Steps recorded by low level mode may not run properly for all steps.
7. Low level recording mode takes more disk space than normal mode.

Describe Insight Recording Mode

1. Used to identify objects based on what they look like rather than object properties.
2. Used in case of technologies not supported by UFT.
3. Used in case of application running on a remote computer.
4. UFT stores image of object along with ordinal identifiers for Insight objects and this image is used to identify the object rather than its properties.
5. Takes more space for the images stored for the objects.

Describe UI Automation Recording .

                           Records the objects in your application as UI Automation objects.
