Ajax Widget Automation

[pricer]

What capabilities does AA have in regard to the automation of newer web tech standards such as AJAX, specifically the ability to move widgets around the site. From a QA functionality perspective, I would want to ideally like to automate the movement of all various combinations of widget placement on the web dashboard.

While mouse co-ordinates/actions is the first thought, can AA track background info regarding AJAX - say, if the widget has a tag assigned to keep the code more organised?

Also, where does AA/Tethys stand on the support of newer HTML5 standards? Is there a certain saturation point, where you invest in support?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Yes, Automation Anywhere provides a tool calle Web Recorder that works with newer web tech standards such as AJAX also with newer HTML5 standards. Automation Anywhere can track the tags which could be manipulated under attributes options in advanced view.

'Manage Web Controls' Web Recorder command can be used it to select various controls on an Internet Explorer page – for example, links, check boxes, radio buttons, drop-downs, etc. You simply specify the URL and capture the control by selecting it. The Manage Web Controls command has an Advanced option for more web controls as below:

Caption: This command searches the control based on the caption that is entered or selected from the text box. For eg., if you recorded a caption 'Buy Now' on a webpage, this command will enable you to search the webpage for this caption.
Index: This command searches the control based on the index number of the control that is stored during the recording a webpage.

Attributes: This command searches the control based on the Tag attributes that are saved during recording a webpage. The Tag attributes can then be selected from the options giving the Attributes and their values for the specified webpage.You can add or delete Tag attributes as needed.
