If an object in the application-under-test changes, a test object
map may have two map objects that describe the same object. You can combine
these objects into a single map object. When you unify two objects, Functional
Test updates scripts.
About this task
You can modify recognition information for an outdated object by
including the new, similar object in the test object map. After you add the
newer object to the test object map, you can combine the outdated object (the
source object) with the newer object (the target object) and unify their test
object properties.
To combine (unify) two test objects in
the map and update all scripts that reference the object:
Procedure
- In the test object map, select the old object, click
.
- Now select the new object and click
. Functional Tester opens the Unify
Test Objects dialog box, which lists Recognition and Administrative
Properties for the unified test object for both the source and the target
objects. Note: You can also drag and drop the older object to the
newer object. Drag the object you want to replace, to the substitution.
- Make any necessary modifications to the Unified Test Object
Properties. For example, to include any of the source test object properties
in the unified test object properties, double-click the source property. You
can also copy from the source or target to the unified test object properties.
- Do one of the following:
- To display the second page of the Unify Test Objects dialog and a list
of all the scripts that reference the test object, which are affected by this
change, click Next.
- To delete the source object and change all references to the target object,
click Finish.
- To close the Unify Test Objects dialog box without performing the associated
updates, click Cancel.
