Telerik is the first tool that I’m using it. Sometime, I get
stuck with this tool. It makes my jobs paused for a short time. So, I share with
you about my little knowledge and experience how I got over them. Maybe they
are known-issues, or you have better solutions for them, please share it to me
and make this topic better.
1. Control
type.
Once I faced with this situation: Before
website was updated, I had to check below type as ratio; but after updating, it
was changed to tab control. At first, I thought “Well, okay, I only need to
change the expression for searching”. And then, it didn’t work. I was wonder
why it happened. I tried to search exactly this element but it was still not
checked. So I looked all of this element detail, and find out that: I find
button by using radio control class.
ð
Lesson learn: use exactly control type for each
type of element.
2. Multiple elements at the place that I
need to check them.
I have meet different issue and it looked
like this: I wanted to click a tab. But, this tab contains another element, a
span, inside it. First time, I captured a span, not a tab. I ran the test
script with step “Click <Tabname>”.Sadly, Telerik couldn’t find this
element. So, I tried to re-capture the tab, using firebug on this page to find
tab’s border and span border first. After feel times, I finally could make
Telerik captured this step. Such hard work.
ð
Lesson learn: If you faced with an element
contain another element, please try to identify the borders of them first.
3. Working
with pop-up
I had a test case. This test case required a
step “Handle 'Alert' dialog.” It worked very well on my computer.
Unfortunately, when I bring it to server for running on production, this popup
could not be closed, though this step marked as passed. After checking their
telerik’s version, I figured out that server and my computer have different
versions. Considering this as root caused.
ð
Lesson learn: Tried to use the same version on
all computers.
4. How
many is enough for working with an element?
Sometime, my telerik failed at searching
element. After trying will all attributes this element had, this step passed.
It looks like at this time, this page contained some elements with same
attributes.
ð
Lesson learn: If one attribute cannot help
telerik find out this element, try with more attribute.
This is some of my problems when working with Telerik. I don’t
remember all of them, just some issues came out of my head when I was doing it.
My feeling was so fun when working with Telerik. Hope you guys enjoy this topic.
If I have any mistake or you have better solutions, please let me know.
