Font colors in Terminal emulator Green Screens

[anitak]

We are automating the Web Based Termainal Emulator in IE,Edge  and Chrome browsers using test complete.

As it is a product based build testing would like to test the new Features such as color Mapping, Key mapping etc.

We are not able to verify the colors that have mapped to the text in the Terminal Emulator green screens. Kindly help us to resolve this issue in Testcomplete.

Are you able to see the text in Object Spy?  You should be able to find the color there.

[anitak]

No. Im not able to even key in the values based on the row,column position in the green screen as its identified as a single object like Frame,Canvas.

Even I want a solution to automate the green screens without simply recording . If there is any click option works with row , column wise in green screen would be useful.

As my product is a web based terminal emulator need a solution to automate in a best way using Testcomplete.

Recording is a useful tool to determine how TestComplete is actually looking at your application.  I wouldn't use it for the whole test but I frequently use it for beginning a framework.  Don't automatically discount it!

You might take a look at the Advanced options in the Object Spy for the frame and see if any of those values will let you drill down to the text.

Other than that, I suggest you contact Support directly with your question.  Here's the link:  https://support.smartbear.com/message/?prod=TestComplete

Thanks for your reply. Yes I have tried using object spy ,it shows only as frame or canvas object. I couldnt see any other properties for it. Please let me know whether I want yo change the settings or other options. Also I tried OCR to input the values, but not much sure about the methods to use. If any method uses its row,column value of the screen will be much useful

Hi,

> it shows only as frame or canvas object.

If emulator's green screen is displayed using canvas, then there is no way to automate it with regular means provided by TestComplete.

This is because everything on canvas is rendered via page scripting and does not provide any internal structure that can be processed by the browser/TestComplete.

I will really appreciate it if you let us know the solution suggested by Support (if any).

[anitak]

Thank you for your response. I didn't get any solution yet also support team is also not providing any fruitful solution.

Feeling worse as I have tried as much I can 😞

Can you tell us more about the purpose of your testing?  Perhaps we can suggest a different approach.
