Testing HTML Tables

During recording, HTML tables are added to the application repository as controls. If QA Wizard Pro recognizes controls in tables, they are also added to the repository. In some cases, you may need to test a table element that is not in the repository, such as text in a cell, or search for a control during playback because the table contents are dynamic.

You can identify search criteria that is used during playback to find a control in a specific cell and perform an action on it. QA Wizard Pro can perform the following actions on HTML tables:

• Perform mouse actions on tables, cells, and controls in cells, and perform keyboard actions on controls in cells. For example, click a button in a table cell. See Adding statements to test HTML tables.
• Verify table properties and cell contents against expected values during playback using control checkpoints. For example, verify text in a cell against an expected value. See Creating HTML table checkpoints.
• Determine if a table or control in a cell exists in the application during playback. For example, verify that an edit box is in a specific cell before text is entered. See Creating HTML table checkpoints.
• Retrieve control property values during playback based on table row and column position. See Capturing HTML table control property values during playback.
• Find a row or column in a table that includes a specific control. See Finding HTML table row and column index values.
