Remarks

  • To add iOS applications, use the TestedApps.AddiOSApp method.

  • To add Android applications, use the TestedApps.AddAndroidApp method.

  • To add a ClickOnce application, use the TestedApps.AddClickOnceApp method.

  • To add a Windows Store application, use the TestedApps.AddWinStoreApp method.

  • To add a Java or JavaFX application, use the TestedApps.AddJavaApp method.

  • To add a Java Web Start application, use the TestedApps.AddJavaWebStartApp method.

  • In addition, you can add ClickOnce, AIR, web and Java applications to the list of tested applications by adding the host process that will run the application:

    • For a Java application, specify the path to the Java virtual machine executable as the FullName parameter of the Add method.

    • For an AIR application, specify the path to AIR Debug Launcher’s executable (adl.exe).

    • For a web application, specify the path to the browser’s executable.

    • For a ClickOnce application, specify the name of the Rundll32 executable.

    Use the TestedApp.Params.SimpleParams property to access the host application’s parameters. By using the SimpleParams.CommandLineParameters property, specify command-line arguments that will be used to run the host application:

    • For an AIR application, specify the path to the AIR application’s descriptor file (*.xml).

    • For a Java application, specify the path to the Java application’s jar or class file.

    • For a ClickOnce application, specify the path to the ClickOnce startup file.

    • For a web application, specify the URL of the page to be opened in the browser.

  • Note that the Add method specifies the Simple run mode for the added application. To specify the RunAs, Profile or Debug mode for the added application, you can use the Params property of the TestedApps object.

{

  var FullPath, TestApp, TestAppIndex;
  // Specifies the full path to an application's executable
  FullPath = "C:\\Windows\\system32\\notepad.exe";

  // Adds the application to the collection of tested applications
  TestAppIndex = TestedApps.Add(FullPath);
  Log.Message("A new application has been added to the TestedApps list with the index " + TestAppIndex);

  // Obtains the new tested application and changes its parameters
  TestApp = TestedApps.Items(TestAppIndex);
  // Launches the application
  TestApp.Run();

}

Python

  # Adds the application to the collection of tested applications
  TestAppIndex = TestedApps.Add(FullPath)
  Log.Message("A new application has been added to the TestedApps list with the index "\
     + aqConvert.VarToStr(TestAppIndex))

  # Obtains the new tested application and changes its parameters
  TestApp = TestedApps.Items[TestAppIndex]
  # Launches the application
  TestApp.Run()

VBScript

Sub AddTestedApp

  Dim FullPath, TestApp, TestAppIndex
  ' Specifies the full path to an application's executable
  FullPath = "C:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe"

  ' Adds the application to the collection of tested applications
  TestAppIndex = TestedApps.Add(FullPath)
  Log.Message("A new application has been added to the TestedApps list with the index " & TestAppIndex)

  ' Obtains the new tested application and changes its parameters
  Set TestApp = TestedApps.Items(TestAppIndex)
  ' Launches the application
  TestApp.Run

End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure AddTestedApp();
var FullPath, TestApp, TestAppIndex;
begin

  // Specifies the full path to an application's executable

  // Adds the application to the collection of tested applications
  TestAppIndex := TestedApps.Add(FullPath);
  Log.Message('A new application has been added to the TestedApps list with the index ' + aqConvert.IntToStr(TestAppIndex));

  // Obtains the new tested application and changes its parameters
  TestApp := TestedApps.Items(TestAppIndex);
  // Launches the application
  TestApp.Run();

end;

C++Script, C#Script

function AddTestedApp()
{

  var FullPath, TestApp, TestAppIndex;
