Information in this topic applies only to web tests implementing the classic approach. In cross-platform web tests, TestComplete recognizes third-party controls as standard web controls. |
TestComplete supports testing of various MooTools controls. You can also modify project properties so that TestComplete recognizes your custom MooTools controls. The sections below describe how you can test MooTools controls in detail.
About Testing MooTools ControlsAbout Testing MooTools Controls
TestComplete can work with any web control via the control’s graphical user interface displayed in a web browser, no matter how the control is implemented on the server side. You can test web applications that use controls implemented by using various technologies and frameworks, including MooTools.
Besides, TestComplete provides extended support for most of MooTools controls. It automatically associates them with special scripting test objects that contain supplementary methods and properties for working with the controls, for example, for selecting individual items and retrieving the item text.
Support for MooTools controls is rather transparent. During test recording, TestComplete automatically recognizes MooTools controls on a page and records the appropriate test commands for your actions. You can then run the recorded test to see how TestComplete simulates user actions on the controls. The entire procedure is very similar to recording and running web tests that work with “regular” web controls. See Web Testing Tutorial, then try to record and run tests on your MooTools web pages.
Supported Controls
Below is the complete list of MooTools controls for which TestComplete provides extended support.
| Control | Library | Class |
|---|---|---|
| Accordion | MooTools More 1.4.0.1, 1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.6.0 | Fx.Accordion |
| Slider | MooTools More 1.4.0.1, 1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.6.0 | Fx.Slide |
Note: If your control is not in the list, you can try working with it by using the properties and methods TestComplete provides for standard web elements. See Support for Web Controls.
