Challenges with UI Automation of Eclipse

Challenge 1:Identification of every UI

object Uniquely

Lab 1 – 20 minutes

OverviewThe goal of this lab is to create a QTP script to create a Project,create a Java file in the project, select Link with Editor option fromPackage Explorer toolbar and verify that the project is created.

PrerequisitesQTP and Eclipse should be open.

Steps1. From Eclipse SDK, create a new Java Project.2. Create a new Java Class with the main method inside this project.3. Add a verification point to make sure file is created under the

project.4. Select “Link with Editor” option from Package explorer view

toolbar.

Discussion on Lab 1

• How did QTP recognize the Resources view?• What happens if the order of Views change?• How did QTP recognize the Toolbars?• Did we script to make sure the script passes in all conditions?• Did the Window title change in the course of Automation?• How are Toolbars recognized?

End Function 'fnSetToolBarOptn


Challenge 2: Constant UI changes


Overview:The goal of this lab is to create a script to open Java Browsing

perspective or any other perspective.

Prerequisites:QTP and Eclipse should be open.

Steps:1. From Eclipse SDK, open Java Browsing perspective by

selecting Window -> Open Perspective -> Java Browsing.2. Add a verification point to check that Java Browsing

perspective is opened.
