102⟩ How to do negative testing on webpage? Can I have to capture all error pages?

Capturing all the error messages page would lengthen your script.....Capture only one page and using "*" in declaration try to make the identifier common to all the pages...

If the error message appears as a text message, get the index of the text (Generally it is fixed) and retrieve the value of the test and compare with the expected e,g

if BrowserPage.HtmlText ("#1").GetText () == "Invalid date"

Print ("Pass")

else

Print ("Fail")

Suppose first time you enter an invalid mail ID and the error page has the tag "Error Page - Invalid mail ID". 2nd time you enter invalid date and the error page has the tag "Error Page - Invalid date".

To generalize the error page, change the tag to "Error Page - Invalid*" or "Error Page*" which suffices that error page is there.....

105⟩ What is multi-tagging?

Multi-tagging is a technique used by the DOM browser extension to identify a Web page UI object. Whenever possible, DOM extension inserts more than one tag into the object identifier in following format:

Browser.BrowserChild

("page_title").html_class("caption_tag|#index_tag|window_tag")

1. "caption_tag" is the caption of the HTML element.

2. "#index_tag" is the index of this HTML element, counting from the beginning of this page of the same class of HTML elements.

3. "window_tag" is the window identifier.

106⟩ How DOM browser extension identify a Web application UI object?

A Web application UI object is identified in two parts:

1. Identify the Web browser window where the Web application is running. For example, a Web browser window can be identified as "Browser.BrowserChild("Yahoo Home Page")". Another Web browser window can be identified as "Browser.BrowserChild("Google Home Page")".

2. Identify the Web UI object based on the HTML element that represents the UI object. For example, an image in a Web page can be identified as "HtmlImage("Yahoo Logo")"; A hyperlink in a Web page can be identified as "HtmlLink("Site Map")";

The full identification of a Web applicatin UI object is the concatenation of the browser window identification and the HTML element identification. For example, the Yahoo logo image is identified as: Browser.BrowserChild("Yahoo Home Page").HtmlImage("Yahoo Logo"). The site map link is identified as: Browser.BrowserChild("Google Home Page").HtmlLink("Site Map").

119⟩ Does anybody know the escape sequence for space in Silk Test?

Does anybody know the escape sequence for 'space' in Silk Test?

For eg :

On the cmd line I have to execute an exe, the location of which is : C:Program Filesxyzabc.exe

Now I need to escape the " " in 'Program Files'.

Answer1:

One thing is, you can use as C:Progr~1xyzabc.exe

Second one is give like myWindow.TypeKeys(" ")

Or just enclose the whole cmd in "". This will handle the space, I think this is your issue?

like:

string sCmdLine = "C:Program Filesxyzabc.exe"

Sys_Execute(sCmdLine)

Answer2:

You can use the command line with quotes when you have a long file name. so, if you need to execute "C:Program FilesMyProgProg.exe"

you can pass the quoted string :

""C:Program FilesMyProgProg.exe""

and it should execute Prog.exe correctly.

Answer3:

Might need to mix your quotes to make that work, like:

"'C:Program FilesMyProgProg.exe'"
