User Interaction in an Automated Test

Hi



I'm hoping to create a demonstration of the functions of Outlook 2010 to new users using AutomatorQA.



To that end, I've started by creating a project that replicates opening and sending a new e-mail.



I'd like this to be interactive : so that when demonstrating the project will , for example, stop part-way through, pending the user clicking on a point on the screen eg in the To box of a blank e-mail.



Once the click has taken place then the test will continue (filling in the e-mail address etc) . Is this possible?



Kind Regards



Gaz

    Hi Gareth,


    You can simply pause and then resume test playback. The default global shortcut for pausing test playback is Shift + F10 (see the Global Shortcuts Dialog help topic for more information).


    Also, you can make TestComplete pause script execution and wait until a specific control is focused (see the Waiting for Object State Changes help topic for more information).
