Learning Applications with Certify Web Learn

Certify Web Learn helps you determine the objects used in the Web application for testing. These learned objects are stored in an application map that is then imported into Certify. After you import your application map into Certify, these windows and objects are used to create processes that will test your application.

Application maps should be created for each screen in the transaction you are learning.

To access Certify Web Learn:

Open the utility from Certify by selecting Tools > Certify Interface Learn > Web from the menu.
