The test recordable action is a test of the value of a static control (ie., a control that you cannot change by a setValue action). Static controls includes title labels (both of pages and dialog controls), record ranges (TotalNumberOfRecordsControl and RecordRangeControl most specifically), but also the element counts of any select dropdowns. This action can be triggered (ie., added to the teest currently being recorded) by clicking such static controls.
This action can also be used to test for certain property settings (such as for the Updatable property) of InputControls.
The test action differs from the assert action in that:
•It is able to test for specific property settings, not just for single values. •Its value must always match: testing the opposite is not possible. Properties
The following target control properties are in scope: Reference name, Occurrence rank, Source Frame, Context reference name, Context occurrence rank.
In addition, the following properties specific to this action are also in scope:
