- Also test all the keyboard shortcuts for various functionalities of the application. For e.g. Ctrl + F shows a 'Find' window etc.
- Each menu item will open a new window for e.g. Edit->Replace will open a 'Replace' window. Record a click in the
'Replace' window by clicking on Cancel or OK button.
- Automation Anywhere intelligently records your activities in all the different windows. Now when you play the task
again, if any of the menu items is not working fine and does not open the expected window, Automation Anywhere will report an error.
- You can also also use 'Log to File' command to log appropriate errors. For e.g. if 'Replace' window did not appear
then you can log an appropriate message like 'Replace Window Not Found'
