Dear Allen
We are currently to build the automation framework prototype.
In our company the main application is our CRM used by all employees across all departments
Our release cycle is every week so things change on the crm everyweek so the option of recording all the regression would not work due the following limitations
1. test complete can not capture dynamic menus in recording
2. the UI objects can change which would involve maintenance re work
3. The Scripting Language we use is VB Script where we have the limitation of that objects are passed always by ref and not by value
So instead we writing an identification program which would have kind of xpath notation such as
if you ask for username it would return you the corresponding to address a value in table and to make checks for data we use notation such as
A[B=C] where A is the column name we want to retrieve the value from and B & C are conditions
we have to call this function several times in our automation and using native dom function gives us the flexibility and we use test complete to maintain the code and organise our tests
I hope I was able to give you a clear scenario as why are we using the native dom functions as the test complete find functions can not find the dynamic menus and they would need us to know the object names and identifiers before hand and our html code is not organised at all as usual it was inheritance passed on to us
I will try to re-intsall the IE and let you know if my problem is solved
Any suggestions please do let me know
Regards
Anand
