Is it possible to make a region checkpoint without mapping an object?

Question

Hi every one, I am new in TestComplete testing, please advise how to solve my problem or a workaround.

I prepare a bench of tests with region checkpoints using Object Spy. It is mapping my objects with related images in Regions and compare it with found images during the execution. It is working perfectly in env A(http://A.mysite.com/...), but when I am changing the env to B(http://B.mysite.com/...) all my test are failed since the url is not any more the same and mapping is failed. In addition the html of env A and B some times is different and the path panel three is different too. (Regions.MySite.Check(Aliases.browser...........................form.panel.panel.panel.panel.panel.panel, false, false, 2090, 8);

My desired solution: I would like to find myObject on the page using html tags(page.NativeWebObject.Find(propertyName, propertyValue, tag)), save the image of that object and compare it with retrieved image during the execution.

I don't undurstand how to do that.

Brief:

I need the script for three functions

1) How to get the image of myObject

2) How to save the image of myobject somewhere for the future checkpoint?

3) How to compare saved image with newly retrieved during the execution.

I am using JavaScript

Thank you

Hi,
&nbsp;
&gt; &nbsp;Does partial mapping work even if the object may be&nbsp;located in different places of the page?
Yes it does. Via the Extended Find functionality (http://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/object-identification/name-mapping/managing/modifying/extended-search-criteria.html). (Note, that for the performance reasons the more close to the expected location of the sought for object the search is started the better.)
https://support.smartbear.com/screencasts/testcomplete/reliable-tests-for-dynamic-objects/ from the https://support.smartbear.com/screencasts/testcomplete/ page might be useful as well.

Thanks Alex, It works with&nbsp;Extended Find, probably I will go with partial mapping.During my investigation I found other solutions. It takes more coding, but it works good. Here is the solution without mapping:&nbsp;var MyobjectlUnderTest ;MyobjectlUnderTest = page.NativeWebObject.Find("propertyName", "propertyValue", "tag").Picture();MyobjectlUnderTest .SaveToFile("C:\images\MyobjectlUnderTest .png");&nbsp;var result;result = MyobjectlUnderTest .Difference("C:\images\MyobjectlUnderTest .png");//I compare the same image, in a real case it should be replaced with another picture taken during the execution. It is not the code to use - just to give an idea.if(result != null){Log.Error("Images are different!", undefined, undefined, undefined, result)} else{Log.Message("Images are same!");}&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi ,Essentially your environment A is different from B so you can not test A against B.But of-course you can copy image from A and compare it with image in B.since A is not B those are two different operations and hav to write as separate code.&nbsp;Comparing images are involved with many parameters&nbsp;and results may not perfect.And it would be pretty complex if you are new to automation testing.So i have doubt whether effort is worth.&nbsp;&nbsp;Anyway you can do1) map objects considering A and B are two applications .2) Get image of A and save&nbsp;3) compare image A to Bplease read these documentshttps://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/checkpoints/stores/regions/adding-images.htmlhttps://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/test-objects/members/onscreen/picture-method-onscreen-object.html?q=get+image#_ga=1.172242602.809719160.1405381514https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/checkpoints/stores/regions/access-to-images.html?q=get+image#_ga=1.172242602.809719160.1405381514&nbsp;Please ask any specific problems / questions while on progress.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi NisHera, thank you for your answer.I think was not enough clear. A and B are the same application. It is DEV env and QA env, the names are not important. So I don't want to "test A against B" . It is always testing of one of them. MyObject has stable html tags and properties, so I can find it easily every where.I didn't get how can I use you suggestion because:&nbsp;Anyway you can do1) map objects considering A and B are two applications . -&nbsp;A and B it is the same app,&nbsp;and I don't want to map my object every where(it may be tested in C and D too), in addition I am looking for the way to avoid mapping2) Get image of A and save -&nbsp;good suggestion, but how to do that without mapping in the web. I didn't get it from&nbsp;your reference3) compare image A to B -&nbsp;same as 2:&nbsp;good suggestion, but how to do that without mapping in the web. I didn't get it from your&nbsp;reference&nbsp;

If A and B are same it makes less complex...did you tried partially mapping?&nbsp;

arybalka · Answer

&lt;did you tried partially mapping?&gt;-No. Does partial mapping work even if the object may be&nbsp;located in different places of the page? If Yes,&nbsp;could you give me the reference to the example how to use it in web?
