Use to view properties of selected test objects visible in the running application and display information about those objects, such as parent hierarchy, inheritance hierarchy, test object properties, nonvalue properties, and method information.
The Test Object Inspector displays information for the test object under the cursor.
The Test Object Inspector has a menu and a toolbar.
The test object map menu has the following options:
File Menu Options:
Exit -- Closes the Test Object Inspector window.
Option Menu Options:
Hide not mappable -- Parent test object nodes that do not appear in the object map are not included.
Hexadecimal -- Displays in hexadecimal Long, Integer, Short, and Byte number properties in the properties page.
Show rectangles -- In the Parent Hierarchy view, displays screen coordinates for the test object. This option is not enabled as a default, because it may slightly slow display time.
Show Standard Properties Only -- Displays only standard properties, which provide a common way to access properties and their values across platforms.
Always On Top -- When selected, the Test Object Inspector window is always the topmost window on the screen.
Show Menu Options:
Show Parent Hierarchy -- Displays the directed list of parents as in the test object map. Parent test object nodes that will not appear in the object map are labelled Not Mapped.
Inheritance Hierarchy -- Displays the class inheritance hierarchy for the selected test object, including any interfaces supported at each level of the hierarchy.
Show Properties -- Displays the object properties that appear in an object properties verification point associated with the selected test object.
Show Nonvalue Properties -- Displays a set of complex properties such as buttons and check boxes, which are not treated as values in the script. You can access these properties indirectly.
Show Method Information -- Displays the visible methods for the selected test object. These are the methods and necessary information to use the methods using the method available for every test object.
Applications Menu Options:
Run -- Opens the Start Application dialog box, which enables you to start a specific application and add test objects to the test object map.
The Applications Menu also lists all the applications that have been configured.
Help Menu Options:
Help -- Displays online Help for the Test Object Inspector.
The Test Object Inspector toolbar has the following buttons:
Show Parent Hierarchy
-- Displays the directed list of parents as in the test object map. Parent
test object nodes that do not appear in the object map are labeled Not Mapped.
Show Inheritance Hierarchy
-- Displays the class inheritance hierarchy for the selected test object,
including any interfaces supported at each level of the hierarchy.
Show Test Object Value
Properties -- Displays the object properties that appear in an
object properties verification point associated with the selected test
object.
Show Test Object Nonvalue
Properties -- Displays a set of complex properties such as buttons
and check boxes, which are not treated as values in the script. You can
access these properties indirectly.
Show Method Information
-- Displays the visible methods for the selected test object. These are
the methods and necessary information to use the methods using the method
available for every test object.
Pause -- Temporarily
suspends the tool.
Resume -- Enables
you select another object in the application.
To open: For Functional Tester, Java Scripting, from the Functional Tester
menu, click Run > Test Object Inspector.
For Functional Tester, VB.NET Scripting, from the Functional Tester menu,
click Tools > Test Object Inspector.
From the Functional Tester toolbar, click the Open
Test Object Inspector button .
For an enabled Java or already-infested application, Test Object Inspector tracks the cursor and performs live updates immediately after you open the application.
If the application is not active, Test Object Inspector does not capture objects in the application. You must pause on the application to force the infestation before Test Object Inspector can track the cursor and perform live updates against that application. To pause on the application, hover the mouse over the object in the application, and press Shift. Test Object Inspector captures the object.
