Record steps for the FlightFinder action

This procedure describes how to record UFT One test steps for finding a flight in the MyFlight app.

Do the following:

1. Start with the MyFlightApplication solution and MyFlight test open to the FlightFinder action.

2. Open the MyFlight app, and log in. Enter john and hp as the username and password.

   For more details, see Explore the sample MyFlight application.

   Tip: Arrange your windows so that you can view the MyFlight app and the tutorial at the same time.

3. In UFT One, select Record > Record and Run Settings.

   Then, select Record and run test on any open Windows-based application.

4. In UFT One, click the Record toolbar button .

   The main UFT One window is hidden, and the Recording toolbar appears, displayed together with the MyFlight app.

   

5. In the MyFlight app, search for a flight from Los Angeles to Sydney.

   Select a future date, Business class, and 2 tickets.

   Note:  

   • To successfully record the datePicker object, click the date input box first. Do not directly click the calendar icon.

   • We recommend entering a date far in the future. You'll be making copies of this test for subsequent exercises, and will run into errors if your date is in the past at that point.

6. Click FIND FLIGHTS to display the SELECT FLIGHT page.

7. On the recording toolbar, click to stop recording.

8. Save your test, and continue with Add steps from the Toolbox pane.

   Tip: If you plan on running this test on a different day, update your datePicker step in the Editor to avoid having to change the date each time.

   For details, see Update your step to run on a different day.
