Re: extract text from web page and assign it to a variable
Thanks for replying. Some background: I've been using Selenium on C# for my testing, but now I'm looking into using TestComplete, hopefully so that my peers can record their own tests without needing to know how to code, and also perhaps to speed up the test automation process. With Selenium, I'm able to pull an attribute from a web page (such as a number from a grid), then run a report and check for that same number, verifying that the report is running successfully. With TestComplete, I've been using Keyword tests for the most part, then converting to a script (C#) and making edits where needed. So if there is a way to store a value into a variable while recording a test, that would be ideal. Failing that, how can I do it in C#? I've been reading through pages and pages of help files, and I've made lots of guesses in the script, but my syntax is apparently wrong, and the error messages are no help. The more time I have to spend typing code, the less of a benefit it is to use TestComplete. That's why I'm looking for some way to point to a web control while recording a Keyword test, and store its text value into a variable that I can access later. I won't always be able to predict what these values are, so I can't paramaterize the values. I'm familiar with IE Dev Tools, FireBug, etc. but I need the test itself to extract that data while it is running. Thanks again7.5KViews0likes0Commentsextract text from web page and assign it to a variable
Hi there, I need to use TC to extract text from a web page control and store it in a variable, so that I can check for that same text elsewhere in the test. I don't know if this procedure has a name that I'm not familiar with yet, but I haven't found any threads or help on this topic. Thanks for any guidance.Solved12KViews0likes11Comments
