Host controls

A control is a screen element in your application that you want to test. For example, a text box or a table. This topic lists all Host controls that Tosca Cloud supports:

• Standard controls

Standard controls

Tosca Cloud supports the following standard controls for Host applications: 

• Label

• Textbox

• Table

Limitations

Tosca Cloud doesn't support defining decisive columns in Host application tables.

Other considerations

You can use action mode Input for Host table cells. However, keep the following things in mind:

• To perform multiple actions in the same table, do them all in one test step. For example, to input text into more than one field of the same table, create individual TestStep Values for each of the input actions within the same TestStep.

• To steer multi-page tables, steer one page at a time. You can perform multiple actions within the same test step, as long as the controls you steer are on the same table page.

• To steer table cells in relation to the current cursor position, use the module Host Send Keys. By default, Tosca Cloud ignores the current cursor position and uses the cell you specify in the test step.

• To enter strings, consider the length of the field and your input. If your input is too long at runtime, it will overflow into the next input field.

• To use keyboard commands, consider the position. Tosca Cloud always performs keyboard commands in the position that you specified in your test case.
