The manual testing functionality is deprecated. Do not use it for creating new tests. It will be removed in a future TestComplete release. |
Description
The Save method saves the created manual test to a file. You can then add a manual testing project item to your project from this file.
Declaration
ManualTestBuilder.Save(FilePath, FailIfExists)
| FilePath | [in] | Required | String | |
| FailIfExists | [in] | Required | Boolean | |
| Result | None | |||
Applies To
The method is applied to the following object:
Parameters
The method has the following parameters:
FilePath
Specifies the path to the file where the created manual test will be saved. The file name is specified by the Name property.
FailIfExists
Specifies whether the method will overwrite the file, whose name coincides with the name of the file, to which the object saves the created manual test. If this parameter is False, the existing file will be overwritten. If the parameter is True, the method will not overwrite the file and will post an error message to the test log.
Result Value
None.
Remarks
If the method was unable to store the manual test to a file, it posts an error message to the test log.
Example
The following code snippet demonstrates how to create a new manual test, specify its name, add steps to it and save the test to a file.
JavaScript, JScript
{
// Clears the test properties
ManualTestBuilder.Reset();
// Specifies the test name
ManualTestBuilder.Name = "NewManualTest";
// Creates the root step of the test
var RootStep = ManualTestBuilder.Root;
// Specifies the root step properties
RootStep.ID = "RootStep";
RootStep.Caption = "Manual Test";
RootStep.IsXMLContent = false;
RootStep.InstructionsText = "Click Begin Test";
...
// Adds new substeps and specifies their properties
var TestStep = RootStep.AddSubstep();
TestStep.Id = "STEP_1";
TestStep.Caption = "Step 1";
TestStep.Enabled = true;
TestStep.IsXMLContent = false;
TestStep.InstructionsURL = "C:\\Work Folder\\Manual Tests\\Step1.htm";
...
// Saves the created test to a file
ManualTestBuilder.Save("C:\\Work Folder\\Manual Tests", true);
}
