This action sends one or more keystrokes to the active window (as if typed on the keyboard). This action is applicable only for desktop web applications. This action does not work when executing test cases in remote environment. Input Parameters: Parameter Name Parameter Description Mandatory Data Type strKey Enter the key which you want to press from the key board. Yes String Example: Suppose the user want 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 PressKeys .The data to be passed to the action in this case will be given as ~^F where ^ means Control. (See the list below for the keys and their meaning. The action will return 0, if the key is pressed successfully else it will return 1 in any other case. Important Note: Ideally the data to be passed here is only ^F, however as ^ has a special meaning in Qualitia it has to be preceded with an escape sequence ~. Hence the data passed will be ~^F. Make sure to prefix an escape sequence which is a tilda for the following characters which has a special meaning in Qualitia. The characters are {,}, ^, ~ Use the PressKeys method 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, to send the letter x, send the string argument "x". Send these characters by enclosing them within braces "{}". For example, to send the plus sign, send the string argument "{+}". Brackets "[ ]" have no special meaning when used with PressKeys, but you must enclose them within braces to accommodate applications that do give them a special meaning (for dynamic data exchange (DDE) for example). 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 the arguments shown in the following table: Key Argument BACKSPACE ~{BACKSPACE~}, ~{BS~}, or ~{BKSP~} BREAK ~{BREAK~} CAPS LOCK ~{CAPSLOCK~} DEL or DELETE ~{DELETE} or ~{DEL~} DOWN ARROW ~{DOWN~} END ~{END~} ENTER ~{ENTER~} or ~ ESC ~{ESC~} HELP ~{HELP~} HOME ~{HOME~} INS or INSERT ~{INSERT~} or ~{INS~} LEFT ARROW ~{LEFT~} NUM LOCK ~{NUMLOCK~} PAGE DOWN ~{PGDN~} PAGE UP ~{PGUP~} PRINT SCREEN ~{PRTSC~} RIGHT ARROW ~{RIGHT~} SCROLL LOCK ~{SCROLLLOCK~} TAB ~{TAB~} UP ARROW ~{UP~} F1 ~{F1~} F2 ~{F2~} F3 ~{F3~} F4 ~{F4~} F5 ~{F5~} F6 ~{F6~} F7 ~{F7~} F8 ~{F8~} F9 ~{F9~} F10 ~{F10~} F11 ~{F11~} F12 ~{F12~} F13 ~{F13~} F14 ~{F14~} F15 ~{F15~} F16 ~{F16~} 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 do this by preceding the regular keystroke with one or more of the following special characters: You can use the PressKeys method 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 do this using 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 10}". Be sure to include a space between keystroke and number. This action stores a substring of a string into a variable. The key value can be retrieved using the key name. Input Parameters: Parameter Name Parameter Description Mandatory Data Type strKey The variable in which the sub-string is to be stored. Yes String strMainString Enter the string whose sub-string value is to be stored. Yes String intStart Enter the index of the string from where the sub-string is to be fetched. Yes String intLength The number of characters required in the string. Yes String This action increments the string length by the value specified by the user and stores it into a variable. Input Parameters: Parameter Name Parameter Description Mandatory Data Type strKey The variable in which the length of the string is to be stored Yes String strMainString The string whose length is to be stored Yes String intIncrement The value by which the length needs to be incremented Yes String Example: This action compares two strings. 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: Parameter Name Parameter Description Mandatory Data Type firstString Enter the 1st string value that you want to compare. You can pass the key name here enclosed in braces. Yes String mainString Enter the 2nd string value that you want to compare. You can pass the key name here enclosed in braces. Yes String caseSensitive Specify the kind of comparison; case-sensitive or case-insensitive. Yes String Example: 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). The action can also compare strings having a new line character. 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: Parameter Name Parameter Description Mandatory Data Type MainString Enter the main string in which you want to search substring. You can pass the key name here enclosed in braces. Yes String Substring Enter the 2nd string value that you want to search. You can pass the key name here enclosed in braces. Yes String caseSensitive Specify the kind of comparison; case-sensitive or case-insensitive. Yes String Example: 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 sub-strings will not be verified by this action. This action compares the data passed by user and verifies that it matches the pattern specified by the user. Input Parameters: Parameter Name Parameter Description Mandatory Data Type Pattern Enter the pattern against which the data specified by the user will be verified. Yes String Data Enter the data which will be matched against the pattern specified by the user. Yes String caseSensitive Specify the kind of comparison; case-sensitive or case-insensitive. Yes String Example: Suppose the account number is YuIFp96062. If this has to be verified for the pattern mentioned, we can use the action ComparePattern as follows: ComparePattern "/^[a-z]/{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. This action verifies the difference between two integer values and validates it with the expected difference value. Input Parameters: Parameter Name Parameter Description Mandatory Data Type Int1 Enter the 1st numerical value to compare. You can pass the key name here enclosed in braces. Yes String Int2 Enter the 2nd numerical value to compare. You can pass the key name here enclosed in braces. Yes String difference Enter the expected difference between the two numbers. Yes String Example:PressKeys
Ex:If key to be sent is {F1} then user should pass data as ~{F1~}
To send {TAB} then user should pass data as ~{TAB~}
To send {ENTER} user should pass data as ~{ENTER~}
You can use 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 "abc". The 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:}" for the left brace and "{
" for the right one.
Key Special Character
SHIFT +
CTRL ^ (Use with escape character (~))
ALT %
Note: 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:StoreSubString
Example:
StoreSubString "resultSubString" "This is a test" "2" "4"StoreStringLength
StoreStringLength "length" "This is a test" "3"CompareString
StoreVariable "Cancel" "key"
The spaces of both the strings are trimmed before comparing.VerifyStringContainsValue
StoreVariable "Testing the action" "mainStrKey"ComparePattern
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.VerifyDifference
