Importing Application Maps

Certify Interface Learn tools create application maps by learning the application components. These application maps are imported into Certify where you are able to create tests with these learned components and execute these tests against the application.

Application maps serve as the link between the application under test and Certify processes. Because each application map is unique, you can compare a previous map version with new versions of the application.

You can import application maps from the Applications window or Maps window in Certify. However, if the application version is shared, you must import the map in the Applications window.

To import application maps from the Applications window:

  1. In the Navigation pane, click Applications.

    The Applications window opens.

  2. Complete one of the following tasks:
  3. In the Navigation pane, select an application. In the Versions Summary pane, right-click on a version and select Import Maps or click Import Maps in the toolbar.

  4. In the Navigation pane, right-click on an application and select Import Maps.

    5. The Import Maps dialog opens.

  5. If you need to choose a different interface than the one shown in the File Import Schema section, select an interface in the drop-down menu.
  6. If you need to choose a different interface tool than the one shown in the File Import Schema section, select a tool in the drop-down menu.
  7. In the File Extension field, verify that *.map is selected.

  8. In the Import Directory field, click the Browse button to browse to the directory where the map file you want to import is located.

    The Import Files field lists all the files within the directory.

  9. If you need to filter your map files, enter the file name in the File Name Filter field.
  10. In the Import Files field, select the files that you want to import.
  11. From the File Options drop-down list, select one of the following import options:
  12. Partial Import - A partial application map is a single or set of maps representing individual windows of an application. Select this option if you have already imported the objects in a window, but know that they have been added, changed, or deleted.
  13. Full Import - Full application map is a single or set of maps representing the entire application. Select this option when importing an application map for the first time.

  14. Click OK.

    The Import Progress dialog appears showing your current file being imported.
