The screen Dots Per Inch (DPI) must be set to 96. If the DPI is set to something else (i.e. 120), selects/clicks will not occur in the right locations and the process steps will fail during test execution.
Worksoft Certify automatically installs the Worksoft Automation Extension to the Edge, Firefox, and Chrome browsers. You need to verify that the extension is enabled. For more information on how to verify that the extension is enabled, click here. For customers using Microsoft Internet Explorer legacy browser, click
 here.
The Web interface supports both the Internet Explorer v11 browser, as well as the Internet Explorer control. Internet Explorer v11 is the legacy browser integrated with the Windows operating systems, and it was permanently replaced by the Microsoft Edge browser. The Internet Explorer control allows applications to embed web content within one or more screens. These embedded controls are used to implement SAP HTML controls in older versions of the SAP GUI. Also, these controls are used to implement the Edge browser’s Internet Explorer Compatibility feature. Both the Internet Explorer v11 browser and control are capable of creating a document using the latest engine or one of the legacy Internet Explorer engines. By default, a page loads using the Internet Explorer v11 engine, but if a web page or site include special information, it can let tell the engine to use one of the older engine modes for compatibility. The Web interface supports documents rendered in modes v9, v10 and v11. It is not possible to determine what document mode is being used. If the Web interface does not appear to be working against an application running in Internet Explorer, you can use the Internet Explorer Developer Tools to identify the document mode of the web page. This tool is located in the upper right corner of the Tools window and it appears as a number. In addition, Certify v12.1.2206 and later versions provide a DocumentMode property on the Browser, IFrame, and Frame nodes in the Certify Web Learn tree. |
