Limitations of automated testing with Flex 29
Limitations of automated testing with
Flex
The Flex integration with QTP includes the following limitations:
■ Flex test objects do not show up in the Object Identification (Tools > Object
Identification) dialog box. Therefore, you generally do not configure the way QTP gets an
object
id or customize which properties QTP stores. You can configure the properties that
Flex uses to identify an object in the TEAFlex.xml file.
■ Web settings (Tools > Web Event Recording Configuration) do not apply to Flex
applications. This is where you can specify the sensitivity of mouse events (for example,
instruct QTP to record a mouseDown and then a mouseUp operation, rather than a click
operation).
■ Flex test objects are not in the QuickTest Object Model Reference (Help > QuickTest
Professional Help > Contents tab > QuickTest Object Model Reference). This reference
shows all the testable methods and properties, examples, and a list of identification
properties. You can refer to the tea.html file that describes all the Flex test objects, their
events, and event values.
