Add web Application Objects

Choosing between Image Objects and Mouse Hover can largely depend on the specific context and requirements of the application under test. Here are a few use cases that might help clarify when to choose one over the other:

...

In conclusion, your choice between Image Objects and Mouse Hover depends on the specifics of the application you're testing. For comprehensive testing, you would ideally want to use a mix of both, depending on the context, to ensure all aspects of the application are thoroughly tested.

A vital note about Qualitia Smart Locator:

Smart Locator has the capacity to automatically identify dynamic objects during the execution of a test case. If this option is enabled, you won't be able to edit object details such as the locator value and locator type.

If you choose to disable this option, the object will no longer be identified by Smart Locator. If you wish to re-enable this option for this object at a later stage, you'll need to either learn this object anew using Qualitia Object Spy or specify a valid XPath for the object. The object will be re-enabled for Smart Locator identification only after its first execution.

If you see a Light Bulb icon next to an Object, it indicates that the Smart Locator is used to identify the Object.

You have the capability to include an object from a web application currently under test with just a single click. You can then choose the type of locator that best suits your needs. Qualitia additionally offers you the flexibility to include objects in the form of an image object.

...

When dealing with image objects, the locator type defaults to Image. You have the autonomy to modify this locator type sequence in alignment with your specific needs.

Prerequisites:

Before moving forward, please confirm that

1. Your computer has connectivity to the Qualitia Server.

2. In the scenario of adding objects from a Salesforce application, it's crucial to ensure you've selected a Salesforce project. Salesforce applications are best viewed / added via the Chrome Object Spy as Salesforce applications are not fully supported on Edge.
