[wtr-general] Re: how watir identifies the objects
Hi All, I have to UI testing that is bit map verification for my Project. Can any one please let me know how can i do that using Ruby Watir, if Ruby Watir is not good in that can any one guide me some other tools which are good for bit map verification testing.

Please don't ask new questions in an unrelated thread. Please start a new thread for this, and also provide a little bit more information as to what it is you are trying to do, such as what you expect for 'bit map verification' such as do the bitmaps exactly the same, or only specific parts of the bitmaps be the same.. don't respond to this, START A NEW THREAD please since this question is NOT related to the original subject of the thread. .

[wtr-general] Re: how watir identifies the objects
How you choose or in some cases need to identify an object on the page depends a lot on how the page is composed, and what it takes to reliably uniqely identify the element you are trying to work with. In general, you can often identify an object by a single uniqe characteristic such as the ID or NAME attributes of the element. in that case you can generally use the form browser.link(identifier, value).clicke.g. browser.link (:text, about).click In the case of frames, because each frame acts much like its own page with its own html source, you need to specify the frame, and then identify the object within the frame. this is pretty standard, and can be a bit of a mess if there are deeply nested frames. Sometimes in the case of objects in tables you may need to get an object that is not unique in any other way than what table row it is in, so you end up finding the right row by some other value in a different column, and then addressing the link or button in that way, by going through the table and specifying the row and column. In other cases, you may want to address something via a div or other container, just to be sure it's the right instance (for example you may have the same link in a menu, and also in a footer, and need to test each of them, and to be sure which one you are talking to you might address it according to the div that contains the element Other than frames I'm not sure there is a hard-fast rule for which way you end up working. BTW, it is possible to create a layer of abstraction and give the objects logical names, and then address them as such. this can be really useful for frequently used things that have complicated paths or identification criteria. The Watircraft framework for example does this via the use of 'page' files that are used to give logical names to elements on a specific page. You can then address them in the script via pagename.logicalname e.g. you can have a script that reads like login_page.user_name= stan login_page.login_button.click aside from creating more readable scripts this also has the advantage of creating just one place where you need to make edits if the way the element is identified needs to change after the devs refactor the page or something.
