Description of Methodology |
|---|---|
A specific element on the screen |
The element is captured (using the Screen Capture Tool) and saved as a JIA Repository object. |
A specific position on the screen |
A position on the screen is captured. This position is relative (up/down/right/left) to a specific element that is visible on the screen at the same time. The element is used as an anchor to the position that should be automated. |
A specific region on the screen |
A region on the screen is captured. This region is relative (up/down/right/left) to a specific element that is visible on the screen at the same time. The element is used as an anchor to the area of the screen that should be automated. |
The following figure shows an example in which a label next to a text box (Name) is used as an anchor to the text box. In runtime, text is automatically entered into the text box.
