1. How to create a datapool?
When creating a datapool, you specify the kinds of data (called datatypes) that the script will send for example, customer names, addresses and unique order numbers or product names. When you finish defining the datapool, TestManager automatically generates the number of rows of data that you specify.
2. How to analyz results in the log and comparators?
You use Testmanager to view the logs that are created when you run scripts and schedules.
Use the log to:
View the results of running a script, including verification point failures, procedural failures, aborts and any additional playback information. Reviewing the results in the log reveals whether each scripts and verification point passed or failed.
Analyze the results of verification points to determine why a script may have failed.
Robot includes 4 comparators:
.Object Properties Comparator
.Text Comparator
.Grid Comparator
.Image Comparator
