If you selected the Generate Functional Tests option in the SOAtest Project’s Record Web Scenarios wizard, a Test Suite: Functional Tests folder is added to the Test Case Explorer.
A scenario will be added for each recording session completed.Each step within this scenario is a Browser Playback tool that was automatically added and configured to represent one action taken in the browser. Actions taken inside forms will be placed inside a nested scenario.
Each step’s configuration is controlled by the settings available in the tool configuration panel, which can be opened by double-clicking the node representing that step. This panel contains the following tabs:
- The Pre-Action Browser Contents tab shows browser contents before the user action (for the first step in a scenario, there are no contents to show). The contents are from the last run in which the previous browser step was successful (the post-action contents of the previous step are the pre-action for this step). If there are multiple windows, the one in which the step's user action occurs is shown.
- The User Action and Wait Conditions tabs correspond to settings that are used, in order, by each step. First, the tool executes the User Action; second, it waits based on the conditions set in the Wait Conditions.
- The Pre-Action HTML tab shows the HTML for the browser contents before the user action (for the first step in a scenario, there are no contents to display). Use the Browser Containers dropdown to toggle between the available browser windows and frames.
Two additional tools will be chained to each Browser Playback tool that is added:
- A Traffic Viewer that shows the HTTP traffic.
- A Browser Contents Viewer that stores and displays the browser contents from the last scenario execution, whether it succeeded or failed.
