SetBaseState

BaseState

Executes the application state chain associated with the testcase, from the

base state up to the highest application state.

The application is running. The application is not minimized. The application

is the active application. No windows other than the applications main

window are open.

Calling SetBaseState for a testcase executes the statements associated with

the base statethat is, the application state at the bottom of the appstate

chain.

Before the first line of your testcase begins running, the recovery system

restores the application to the BaseState even if an unexpected event

corrupted the application between testcases.

During a testcase, if an application error occurs, the recovery system

terminates the execution of the testcase, writes a message in the error

log, and restores the application to the BaseState before running the next

testcase.

After the testcase completes, if the testcase was not able to clean up after

itself (for example, it could not close a dialog it opened), the recovery

system restores the application to the BaseState.
