Compare logos on pages

We have 40 institutions  websites that must display 1 of the 3 approved logos. Additionally, they have  2 pages on their website to  place the logo.   So what that means is we have to check both know...

    I had a similar problem a few years ago looking for certain icons in a map that could not be spied..

     

    We stored the icons as images in the images store.

    Took a bitmap snap shot of the page object/map.

    Did an image find within the snaps shot.

    If it was found then record certain info about it like top-left, bottom-right coordinates etc.  This allowed us to click it and do stuff.

     

    It was slow though..

     

    Cant remember the exact coding but that was the general idea.

you can first add in those three approved logos into the Stores test item as a region artifact. 

then you would essentially be looping through those 40 websites, and do either a region checkpoint or the compare pictures operation https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/keyword-testing/reference/checkpoints/compare-pictures.html  in order to raise warnings/errors as needed.

you can have the region checkpoint, or the compare operation to grab the on screen logo (object) and compare it against the Stores item (containing the actual logo). Now iterating through the 40 websites sounds like a for or while loop, and check the two different on screen object locations for the three different approved logos sound like an if or try/catch statement.

    Also, the location on the webpage can be anywhere.  I was having some difficulty with searching the entire page for the logo object.

      Thank you hkim5 for such valid advice!

       

      ppfeifer Did you get the chance to test out this approach yet?

        I added them to the stores.   When I did a compare, I had to give a location on the page.    The logo is not in a fixed location on the page.  It can be anywhere.   So I was trying a different approach, make each logo a variable and  check on the alias browser/page and use the if object is visible.   I couldn't figure out how to do it with the picture compare and region checkpoint.
