Methods

$(selector, objType_opt) → {*}

Creates a child test object of this test object. This operation does not cause OpenText Functional Testing for Developers to search for the object in the AUT. OpenText Functional Testing for Developers interacts with the application only when a step runs that performs an operation on the AUT object.

Parameters:

selector	Description | string			The description of the test object. Can be a full test object description or a string. If a string is provided, it is interpreted as a CSS selector with a default test object type of WebElement.
objType	Description	<optional>	Web.Element()	The type of test object to use when supplying a CSS string for the selector.

Returns:

the new child test object with the provided description.

Type

*
