everyone welcome to the U of T training
videos in this video we will look at
record and drum settings so primarily we
will learn to start application so that
we can record the functionality or the
activity so let us first go to that area
record under record menu we have record
and run settings on this dialog box we
have three tabs Java web and Windows
applications we use Java when we work
with Java based applications and
obviously when we work with the web
where we if we have to go to say for
example amazon.com or hotmail comm to
record activity on the website then we
would use this tab and we would use
Windows tab you know whenever we work
with Windows applications like at the
flight simulator that comes with the EFT
software or if you want to record
something on windows calculator you know
you would use it so let me start with
Windows based applications then I'll
move into web based application and then
we'll talk about how how we can actually
invoke the application directly using
the code so starting with Windows let's
say for example I want to start windows
calculator so I'll just put in this
calculator the working folder I can
leave as it is or you know at least for
this you know it's really not relevant
I'll just leave it there
the program itself does not have any
arguments and you can do when your Cal
Celts are CLC or we can do LC dot exe
are you can use the full path as say for
example if it will start run and if I do
CLC you're going to type that you know I
actually know get the calculator prompt
you that means the system recognizes it
so I'll check that I mean I'll key that
in say ok and then you know we'll need
first we need to make sure that it
appears here within this box so I'm
going to set this way and apply it and
do ok now let me start recording I'm
going to hit the right button here
record f6 and you know we have you know
the Middle's calculator started so I
just want to demo the process of
starting application so a lot record
anything so that's one way let me go
back to record and run settings and you
know instead of doing calculator I'm
going to start the flight simulator I'm
going to delete that
to add again and use a drop down here by
default you know it does have you know a
link there so that's a whole it's a
complete path from all the way from C
Drive to you know we're over this flight
for a dot exe locator I want to pick
that do ok
make sure again appeared here within
this box here I can adjust these columns
to see and make sure that you know it's
a flight for it RDX see once we have it
I'm going to apply and click OK now let
me click the record button here which is
you know or you can hit f6 on your
keyboard like it and I'm getting a
prompt here for user controls go ahead
and say yes for it and here you go we
have the application running so let me
go ahead and stop recording
minimize EFT for a quick second
okay now so we looked at you know run
settings in a way in such a way to you
know start up in DOS based application
let me go back there again and this time
I will go to web and I will enter
ww.topdentistsonline.com
in me for user account control to start
the flight simulator to windows-based
application and on top of that it
launched the web browser with hotmail
comm so it launched the browser in 20
hotmail.com web site close this stop
recording clear this activity here close
this as well
so our intention was to start just the
browser and you open the browser and
then go to hotmail.com but what it did
was it actually started the you know
windows-based application as well let's
go back to recording drum settings see
what's happening so because you know
under the web web tab it says you know
go ahead and start this here and then
within the windows applications you know
it says you know record and run only on
on this so when you say record it's
going to invoke this and also it was is
going to invoke a browser based on the
setting so if you want to invoke the
browser only we can
go back to intercept and pick the first
radio button this would this will not
start any windows application good back
to web make sure the second radio button
is selected click OK now when I do
record then it should not start our
flight simulator as you just saw it just
you know for the browser and went to
hotmail calm let me stop this and this
time you know we have been using you
know recording run settings so let me go
ahead and select the radio first radio
button meaning the application I mean
you know though the UFT will not start
any web-based application I'll make sure
that first radio button is selected for
Windows as well for Java you know I can
pick the first radio button as well so
if I try to record now you know there's
nothing happening that means you can I
mean it I mean the browser itself is not
invoked let me close the existing
browser
let me run one more time to record so
with the current setting you know the
UFT did not start up into this
application he did not fire a browser to
you know not getting any sort of URL it
just started recording so whatever you
know within your system let's say for
example if you manually start something
it'll start recording so even that's not
our you know preferred choice now let me
show you the programmatic way of you
know starting applications for our
recording purposes so I can use there's
a system command called system dot util
I can do a system as far as I did a
control spacebar to bring up the menu I
can pick again I'm using my down arrow
to go to system util and hit enter so
system util dot I want to run something
and let's say I want to run
you can say calc axc done now if I run
this script
now it would actually invoke the
application technically this is how you
start it so you would start the
application manually and then you will
insert it so for example if I do
something like this I want to record
that what I'll do it I'll do go ahead
and start the calculator so I already
have the calculator open then I'll do
record then I'll you know go to my
calculator I'll do one plus two equal to
and stop it so I have a basic recording
here I'm going to close this calculator
and now let me see if I can run it I'm
gonna run it now the problem is you know
we did not you know kind of set the
record and run settings in such a way to
start the calculator or we don't have a
statement to or a Core aligned within
the code to start the windows calculator
it's now sitting on line two trying to
you know find calculator or move it
around so it says that you know it
cannot find this object go stop it
of course it'll fail so now what I'll do
is I'll use our you know system it will
not run and I'm giving calculator here
so I'm going to do that the very first
step is you know starting the
application here is we're starting the
application and then it will start you
know working with the calculator so let
me go ahead and run it
so it started one plus three equal to
one plus two equal to three and it
passed so that me girl enclose the
calculator so what we did was we
actually had the application open
manually and then we recorded something
and then we came back and here and added
this line there okay so that's how you
started windows-based application and
pretty much every production script that
you would see in real time they'll have
this line in there to start the
application they'll never use the record
and run settings so now let me just show
you how we can start a browser-based
application here same thing and I'll say
start it's a calm until they start ie
and nav to Arc mail calm that's a
comment again we'll use the same command
system util dot run this time we'll
start Explorer I explored our exe is the
executable to start the browser
I mean Internet Explorer but we have you
know if we do that it will open up your
browser just like you would open your
browser but we need to tell the system
to go to hotmail calm all you have to do
is comma and then pass in whil calm call
this would start the application so I'll
leave as it is save the script and I'll
manually invoke the browser go to
hotmail calm and keep this open go back
to the browser here sorry I'm it is a
UFT here so I already have this command
that's fine now I'll start recording say
record so I'm going to call on this I'm
going to enter global key training.com
it hotmail.com and something something
that's just invalid
credentials just for testing purposes
stop so I have this so now what I'll do
is I don't have the browser open and see
I don't have to open let me go ahead and
run it if I run it what what I would
expect you to do is you know it should
invoke the browser go to hotmail calm
and start entering those details okay
you know it start keying in of course it
failed that's okay that that's exactly
what it's doing it's just going to go
into IE browser and navigating you to
hotmail calm and entering or passing in
user and password whatever we had in the
script and you know it it didn't do
anything I didn't click the login or
anything it just you know finish the
script so this is how you start your web
browser applications and pretty much
hundred-person I have never seen any
real-time script where they were using
recording run settings to start
application this is how you know most of
the qtb engineers or you have to
engineers start their applications I
think I would HIGHLY highly recommend to
start using system util dot Ron so that
is to start the browser let me go ahead
and remove this comment this here as
well and let's say you want to start
your samples application util dot run
and we know that in a Windows sample
application or you know the sample
application that comes with the U of T
is a windows-based application that
means it's a dot exe file all we need to
know is the path to this start programs
browse to your HP software go to sample
applications and go to flights GUI right
click on it go to properties and just
copy the target here because that's the
dot exe pad I'm going to select the
whole thing ctrl C copy that bring in
here and paste it there and you're done
he eat I mean this dot exe does not
require any arguments so you're just
saying system you tool and run and
you're passing in the full path to the
dot exe so let me see the script run it
once and see if this works
okay I'm getting a prompt here for a
user account control um product clicking
s for that and it's on the application
well so so the different you know types
of you know starting application one was
through recording run settings the other
was using the system util dot run system
you do not run is a preferred way of
starting your applications from the
get-go from the very beginning I would
highly recommend to start using system
util dot run command to start your
applications for recording well that's
it in this video I know it was kind of a
little longer video but it's all round
starting the application but this will
definitely help you throughout your
learning yeah thank you and you know
talk to you in the next video
you
