Recording Cross-Browser and Cross-Platform Scripts

To set up your environment to record cross-browser scripts:

  1. Enable Web browsers. Click Configure > Enable Environments for Testing to enable your environments for testing. For example, any of the supported versions of Netscape, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla that you plan to use for testing must be enabled.

  2. Designate one browser as a default:

  1. Configure your HTML applications for testing. Click Configure > Configure Applications for Testing to specify information about your application and its environment.

  2. Start recording a Functional Tester script in Functional Tester, Java Scripting or in Functional Tester, VB.NET Scripting. For cross-browser compatibility considerations, see Notes on Using Netscape 4.7x with Functional Tester.

  3. Start your test application from the Record toolbar. Functional Tester opens the HTML page you specify in the default browser.

  4. Perform any actions and create verification points on your test application. Stop recording.

  5. Run the script. Functional Tester plays back the script in the default browser.

  6. Designate the other browser as a default:

  1. Run the script. Functional Tester plays back the script in the browser you defined as the default in step 8.
