UI Reference
This chapter will cover the overview of all the UI components available in
this product. When a test is opened you will see two frames. The left frame
is the navigational frame while the right frame holds the panel for the
selection made in the tree in the navigational frame. Some menu options will
not be available depending on what has been selected in the left frame.
There are three tabs shown in the left navigational frame:
Editor Tab
The left hand navigational frame shows the Editor tab with the test tree as soon
as the recording is over. When a test has been recorded, selecting an element on
the test tree makes the right frame to show the panel for settings for the
element selected on the test tree. The test tree has a root node that is name
of the test and one or many group nodes that represent the different groups
in the test. The group node can have one or many task nodes. When the Test node, that is the parent node
for the test tree, is selected the right frame shows the Project Settings and List of Groups in the test. When the
Group node is selected on the
test tree, the right frame shows the Group
Settings and List of
Tasks in the group. When an Task is selected on the test tree, the
right frame shows the General
Settings and the Parameter
Settings for that particular Task.
Status Tab
This tab shows the status of a test running on that machine.
Results Tab
The Results tab on the
navigational frame shows the reports tree. The Reports tab is not seen on the
left frame when a new test is created or an existing test is opened. It can
be seen only when a test is replayed. The Results tab is also seen when a
test result file is opened using the Open
Result option in the File menu.
