Click operations

When you run your tests, Tosca Cloud interacts with the screen elements in your application to ensure your workflows behave as expected. Typically, these interactions include the following:

• Value interactions, where you insert, verify, or save data.

• Click operations, where Tosca Cloud navigates your menus and buttons.

For click operations, set the Action to Input and enter one of the following commands:

Click operation	Description
{ALTCLICK}	Performs a left click while holding the Alt key down.
{CLICK}	Click with the left mouse button.
{CONTROLCLICK}	Performs a left click while holding the Ctrl key down.
{DOUBLECLICK}	Double click with the left mouse button.
{DRAG}	Selects the object to be repositioned. The object in question must support drag and drop operations.
{DROP}	Inserts an object that was previously selected with {DRAG}.
{LONGCLICK}	Click with the left mouse button which lasts for two seconds.
{MOUSEOVER}	Moves the mouse pointer over the control.
{RIGHTCLICK}	Click with the right mouse button.
{SHIFTCLICK}	Performs a left click while holding the Shift key down.

Define the click position for CLICK

You can define an offset for the click operations {CLICK} and {LONGCLICK}. Use square brackets and define your offset in pixels px or in percent % relative to the top left corner of the control area with the syntax {Click[OffsetHorizontal][OffsetVertical]}.

Define mouse movements and click positions

Use the syntax {MOUSE[Action][MoveMethod][OffsetHorizontal][OffsetVertical]} to define a mouse operation including mouse movements and offsets.

The Action parameter defines the click operation to perform. You can specify the following values:

Action	Description
CLICK	Click with the left mouse button.
DOUBLECLICK	Double-click with the left mouse button.
DRAG	Selects the object with the left mouse button for repositioning. The object must support drag and drop operations.
DROP	Inserts an object that was previously selected with DRAG or RIGHTCLICKDRAG.
LONGCLICK	Click with the left mouse button which lasts for two seconds.
MOUSEOVER	Moves the mouse pointer over the control.
RIGHTCLICK	Click with the right mouse button.
RIGHTCLICKDRAG	Selects the object with the right mouse button for repositioning. The object must support right-click drag and drop operations.

You can specify the following values for the parameter MoveMethod:

MoveMethod	Description
Jump	The mouse pointer jumps directly to the clicked location.
Smooth	The mouse pointer moves smoothly towards the clicked location.
HorizontalFirst	The mouse pointer moves along the horizontal axis first.
VerticalFirst	The mouse pointer moves along the vertical axis first.

Specify the offset parameters OffsetHorizontal and OffsetVertical in pixels px or in percent % relative to the top left corner of the control area.

Jump to a specific location

The syntax {JUMPTO[Action][OffsetHorizontal][OffsetVertical]} allows you to jump to a specific location and perform a click operation.

Optionally, specify the offset parameters OffsetHorizontal and OffsetVertical in pixels px or in percent % relative to the top left corner of the control area.
