Input Parameters:

Example:

PressKeys

This action sends one or more keystrokes to the active window (as if typed on the keyboard).

Input Parameters:

Example:

Suppose the user want You can use PressKeys action to open the Find dialog on the Browser window under test. Manually this is done by pressing the keys Control and F simultaneously. This opens the Find dialog on the browser window. The same thing can be done using the action PressKey .The data to be passed to the keyword in this case will be given as browser, which is done manually using Ctrl + F.  While using the PressKeys action, the data to be passed is ~^F where ^ means Control. ( See the list below for the keys and their meaning).

The action returns 0, if the key is pressed successfully , otherwise, else it will return 1 in any other case. 

Note: If a PressKeys action does not execute on an Inactive Screen, refer to PressKeys Action does not Execute on an Inactive Screen.

Important Note:

Ideally the The data to be passed here is only ^F, however as . However ^ has a special meaning in Qualitia QAS, it has to must be preceded with an escape sequence ~. Hence the data passed will be is written as ~^F.
Make sure to prefix an escape sequence which is a caret tilda for the following characters which has a special meaning in Qualitia. These The characters are {,}, ^.

For example, if you want to press the {F1} key, then user should pass data as {F1}

Use the PressKey method , ~
Example:

1. If key to be sent is {F1}, enter data as ~{F1~}.

2. To send {TAB}, enter data as ~{TAB~}.

3. To send {ENTER}, enter data as ~{ENTER~}.

Use the PressKeys action to send keystrokes to applications that have no automation interface. Most keyboard characters are represented by a single keystroke. Some keyboard characters are made up of combinations of keystrokes (CTRL+SHIFT+HOME, for example). To send a single keyboard character, send the character itself as the string argument. For example, if you want to send the letter x, send the string argument "x".

You can use PressKey PressKeys to send more than one keystroke at a time. To do this, create a compound string argument that represents a sequence of keystrokes by appending each keystroke in the sequence to the one before it. For example, to send the keystrokes a, b, and c, you would send the string argument need to send as "abc". The PressKey PressKeys method uses some characters as modifiers of characters (instead of using their face-values). This set of special characters consists of parentheses, brackets, braces, and the:

• plus sign       "+",
• caret             "^", (use with an escape character [~])
• percent sign "%",
• and tilde       "~"

Send Enter these characters by enclosing them within braces "{}". For example, to send enter the plus sign, send enter the string argument "{+}". Brackets "[ ]" have no special meaning when used with PressKeyPressKeys, but you must enclose them within braces to accommodate applications that do give them a special meaning (for dynamic data exchange (DDE)).

• To send bracket characters, send enter the string argument "{[}" for the left bracket and "{]}" for the right one.
• To send brace characters, send enter the string argument "}" for the left brace and "{" for the right one.
• To send a key combination that includes Ctrl key such as Ctrl + N send "~^n"

Some keystrokes do not generate characters (such as ENTER and TAB). Some keystrokes represent actions (such as BACKSPACE and BREAK). To send these kinds of keystrokes, send enter the associated arguments as shown in the following table:

To send keyboard characters that are comprised of a regular keystroke in combination with a SHIFT, CTRL, or ALT, create a compound string argument that represents the keystroke combination. You can do this it by preceding the regular keystroke with one or more of the following special characters:

• SHIFT:  +
• CTRL:  ^
• ALT:  %

 When used this way, these special characters are not enclosed within a set of braces.

To specify that a combination of SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT should be held down while several other keys are pressed, create a compound string argument with the modified keystrokes enclosed in parentheses. For example, to send the keystroke combination that specifies that the SHIFT key is held down while:

• e and c are pressed, send enter the string argument "+(ec)".
• e is pressed, followed by a lone c (with no SHIFT), send enter the string argument "+ec".

You can use the PressKey method PressKeys action to send a pattern of keystrokes that consists of a single keystroke pressed several times in a row. To do this, create a compound string argument that specifies the keystroke you want to repeat, followed by the number of times you want it repeated. You To do this using , use a compound string argument of the form {keystroke number}. For example, to send the letter "x" ten times, you would send the string argument "~{x 1010~}" . Be sure to include where you need to ensure that you enter a space between keystroke and number.

Example:
Consider a bank application where on adding a user an account number is generated which is unique and consists of alphanumeric characters. The number of characters in that account number is 10 where the first 5 are alphabets and remaining five are numbers.

Suppose the account number is YuIFp96062. If this has to be verified for the pattern mentioned, we can use the action ComparePattern as follows:

• strPattern -  [a-z]~{0,5~}[0-9]~{5~}
• strData –  YuIFp96062
• blnCase -    False

ComparePattern                 “[a-z]~{0,5~}[0-9]~{5~}“                   "YuIFp96062"                  "false"

Here the ComparePattern action shall verify that data mentioned matched the specified pattern .The action will return 0, if the data matches the specified pattern , else it will return 2 if the data does not match the pattern. In any other case it will return 1.

If the pattern is using Qualitia's special characters like {,},/,^ then they should be prefixed with /.

Special characters and sequences are used in writing patterns for regular expressions. For a complete list of the regular expression syntax visit the VBScript syntax Guide for Regular Expressions.

CompareString

This action compares two strings without trimming the spaces. The comparison can be either case-sensitive / non case-sensitive. Even a key can be passed as one of the parameters for comparison where the CompareString function will retrieve the value from the key and that value will be compared with expected.

Input Parameters:

CompareString           "{key}"           "Cancel"          "true"

Here the CompareString action shall retrieve the value for the key (here Cancel) and compare it with the expected (here Cancel) with case sensitive comparison as True. The action will return 0, if the strings match else it will return 2 if the strings do not match. It will return 1 in any other case (like an error).

CompareTabularResults

These files contain the results after executing the queries using the actions "ExecuteQueryAndStoreInFile" or "StoreTableData". The supported file extension types are : txt, xml and xls.

1. text and text
2. text and excel
3. text and xml
4. xml and xml
5. xml and excel
6. excel and excel

VerifyStringContainsValue

This action verifies that the substring is present within the main string. Comparison can either be case sensitive or insensitive.

This action verifies that the substring is present within the main string. Comparison can either be case sensitive or insensitive.

Input Parameters:

VerifyStringContainsValue      "{mainStrKey}"                               "the action"              "True"

Here the VerifyStringContainsValue action shall retrieve the value for the key mainStrKey and compare it with the expected with case sensitive comparison as True.

The action will return 0, if the sub-string is found in the main string, else it will return 2 if the sub-string is not found in the main string. In any other case it will return 1.

Empty and null substrings will not be verified by this action.

IMAGE.CompareTwoImages
