I know that, in general, boards like this frown on "thank you" posts. But I really want to thank everyone who took the time to help me. I'm a new user of this product, and I'm struggling mightily to learn the Zen of coding tests.
Smart Bear, you could really help us by making it easier to discover script or Keyword operations that do useful things directly from within the IDE. For example, if I record a Keyword test, I see things like:
textnode Click ... Clicks at point (1,2) of the 'textnode' object.
Nothing I see on the screen gives me a clue that this statement is actually an instance of an On-Screen Action. And the docs don't offer much help either. Often as not the docs display something like the text above as the "answer", but fail to state which "operation" the user can drag into the sequence to get to that answer. Simply adding the ability to see the "operation" associated with a line in the Keyword Test would solve this particular pain point.
As for improving the "discoverability" of script objects and their usage, asking the experts in this board is probably about the best you can do. Searching the docs is almost impossible; I get many pages of results, most of which are not relevant to my query. Microsoft ditched their own boards in favor of StackOverflow several years ago, and now it's pretty easy to use Google to find good answers there. Maybe paying more attention to making the content of your user community posts friendly to Google searches would help. Or following Microsoft's lead and moving the whole kit and caboodle to StackOverflow...
