UI Elements

Description
Name

The name of the application you want to run in your test. You can give the application any name that will help to clarify the application.

Type

Web Application. Select this button if you want to define a web application. Available for ALM and UFT One users.

Desktop application. Select this button if you want to define a desktop application. Available for ALM and UFT One users.

Mobile application. Select this button if you want to define a mobile application.
Settings (when defining a Web application) - only available for ALM users

URL. The URL address of the Web application you are defining.

Browser. The browser in which you want to run the Web application.

Replay Type. The type of action to replay: Event or Mouse.

Select App

(for Mobile connections)

The application that you want to test on a mobile device. The drop-down options include the Select App and Select Browser.

Both options open the UFT Mobile wizard, allowing you to select a device, app (for the Select App option), and relevant test options. For details, see the UFT Mobile wizard.

  • SAPUI5 technology. Select this option if you are working with SAPUI5 technology in mobile applications. Sprinter will launch the application with the SAP UFT agent in order to record all controls.

For more information, see Run Mobile App Tests.
Additional Settings - only available for ALM users

Close the browser when the test closes. Automatically close the browser at the end of the test.

Location. The path to the desktop application (if relevant).

Parameters. Any parameters you want Sprinter to use when it starts the application.

Working folder. The working folder for the desktop application. The working folder is used by the application to search for related files. If a working folder is not specified, the application's executable folder is used as the working folder.
Technologies - available for ALM and UFT One users

The technologies used in developing the application being tested.

  • For Power Mode to work, you need to ensure that all the technologies that were used to develop your application are selected. Consult the application developers if you are not sure which technologies to select.

    • Some technologies depend on other technologies to run. Some of these dependencies are automatically selected and disabled in the Technologies list.

  • For best performance it is recommended to avoid selecting unnecessary technologies.

  • Web is selected by default for Web applications.

  • You can make use of Web Extensibility packages developed for QuickTest /UFT One to enable Power Mode to support objects that are not supported out-of-the-box. Extensibility packages can be developed for Web, Java, .NET Windows Forms, WPF, and Silverlight. For details, see  .

  • For SAP GUI for Windows troubleshooting and limitations, see Troubleshooting Power Mode.
  • For Terminal Emulators technology, make sure to configure the terminal emulator as described in the UFT One Help Center. This is required in order to run terminal emulator tests in Power mode.
Start the application when the run begins - available for ALM and UFT One users

Instructs Sprinter to automatically start the application when you start your run.

It is recommended that you configure Sprinter to start your application when the run begins or manually start your test application after you begin your run.

For desktop applications that use Java, ActiveX, and Web applications:

  • Sprinter can only work with these applications if they start when the runs begins.

  • If you do not configure Sprinter to start your application when the run begins, you need to manually start your application after you begin your run.

  • Sprinter will work with any Java application that is started when the run begins or after the run begins.

For desktop applications that do not use ActiveX:

  • Sprinter can work with these applications that were already running before the run begins. Sprinter is set by default to not start these applications when the run begins.
Record on any open application - available for ALM and UFT One users

Instructs Sprinter to record user actions on any open application and not only the application defined in the Add Application dialog box. This can be useful when your test involves using more than one application and you want to record the user actions for all applications.

Selecting this option may affect performance.
