Re: How to get text as displayed in the UI instead of getting the text value
Thanks Robert and Marsha for your information. Unfortunately in native mobile app we don't have that. The text that in the property is the text that developer puts in. The mobile operating systems then can render that based on screen sizes and other factors (such as text size, zoom mode, etc.) and displays the text in the UI as truncated/hyphenated, or even clipped. So we need to have facility that behaves like OCR to get the text that you see in the UI. Human will slow down significantly when dealing with 20,000+ images from 40+ different languages :(2.7KViews0likes3CommentsRe: How to get text as displayed in the UI instead of getting the text value
Sorry for the delay in replying Marsha As an example, let say you have a receipt from a store. That receipt has some pictures/logos, numbers and texts. That same receipt has to be translated into 40 different languages. You have the approved target translated word by word source. All you need to do is to check if there is any clipping, truncation, hyphenation and also checking whether the translated text does match with your approved translated word by word source. We need to do this for all languages, in my example 40. The receipt itself might slightly change during any period due to customisation but the text contents are still the same. Perhaps just moving positions, etc. Therefore it would be a daunting task if every time you have any minor change or any re-organisation of text then you have to generate baseline library images for 40 languages. It would be good if TestComplete can nominate an area in the picture and detect any text displays there and we can get the actual text displayed in the UI for comparing it against target source.3.4KViews0likes8CommentsRe: How to get text as displayed in the UI instead of getting the text value
That approach will require to generate hundreds or thousands of baseline pictures. It would be good if the tool can grab the text displayed in the UI as it is and compared with the approved source target text. This will simplify the process and easier to automate (cheaper since faster - no need to manually generate and verify thousands baseline pictures). I hope TestComplete can accommodate this needs in the near future.3.6KViews0likes10CommentsRe: How to get text as displayed in the UI instead of getting the text value
Hi Marsha Thank you for your updates. Manually we compare the screens but we also analyse the correctness of the text, the fonts type, etc. We have target strings that need to appear exactly on UI. Sometimes the UI renders differently on different screen sizes and text sizes as well as languages. That's why we need more than 'a user would do'. Thanks3.6KViews0likes12CommentsHow to get text as displayed in the UI instead of getting the text value
I am trying to capture the UI text as displayed rather than capturing the text value itself. When using different fonts size and screen sizes the text rendered by OS could be displayed as truncated or clipped. Can TestComplete do this for iOS and Android? Thanks4.3KViews0likes16CommentsFacility to be able to background-foreground or change settings in iOS
TestComplete is lack of functionality for testing iOS app when there is a need for simulating background/foreground/'go home'/turn bluetooth on/off/change settings etc. in iOS. When are you going to provide this facilities? This is very important facility for testing iOS app. Thanks!1.2KViews0likes0Comments
