Specifying Recognition Attributes

In the Configuration tab of the Certify Web Interface Options tool, you can use attributes to recognize the selected tag name. Recognition is the name and value that Certify uses to find an object during a test, and all name and value pairs must match for a Find operation to succeed during test execution.

When learning an application, if an attribute has a non-null value, the attribute name and value are added to the object's attribute string for each recognition attribute. All configured recognition attributes are included in the attribute string of the learned object.

To specify recognition attributes:

1. In the Certify Web Interface Options tool, click the Configuration tab.

The Configuration Tab opens.

2. From the File drop-down list, select a configuration file.

   Remember that you cannot edit the default Factory configuration file.

3. From the Configuration Rules pane, select a tag rule.

4. In the right pane of the Configuration Manager, click the Recognition tab.

   The Recognition tab opens.

   

5. To create a new Naming rule, click the New Recognition Rule button or right-click in the pane and select New

   To edit an existing Recognition rule, right-click on a rule and select Edit or click the Edit Recognition Rule button.

   The New Recognition Rule or the Edit Recognition Rule dialog opens.

   

6. From the Attribute drop-down list, select an attribute name or enter an attribute name into the text field.

7. If you do not want to add advanced name parsing to the Recognition rule, go to Step 14.
8. In the Delimiter drop-down list, select one of the following delimiters:
9. {SPACE}
10. {TAB}
11. {CRLF}

9. In the Use text field, enter a character or a sequence of characters that will be used to define values. You must use numerical values or "last".

   Example: 1, 3, last = first, third, and last

10. In the Remove Literal Value field, enter the literal values that you want removed from the attribute value.
11. If you want to remove all trailing numerical values from the attribute value, select the Remove Trailing Numerics option.

12. From the Criteria drop-down list, select one of the following criteria for the value:
13. Is Equal To
14. Starts With
15. Contains
16. Is Not Equal To
