Can we make the recorded script run on different pages ?

The web application we are automating is maintained in different systems, so the same applicationed in deployed in different web pages.



Is it possible to use the same recorded script ?



Because the objects are recorded in reference to the webpage.

For Eg:

pagehttp....

  link

  textbox

  loginbutton



How can I make the tool identify the objects without a reference to the page, so that it can be run on other web pages too



Since just the chenging the page URL directly and rerunning the script does not work.

    Can you use wildcards in the URL so it matches all the pages you need it to match?

    Hi Tony,



    I dont think it will work with wildcards as well. Since the objects are getting identified and recorded as part of a webpage.

    And each webpage has unique URL, the unique part is not the dynamic part of the URL it is the actual content of the URL which cannot be turned to a wildcard.



    My question here is , how can I make TestComplete record the object independent of the webpage URL.



    Thanks,

    Sindhu.
