Other ways to do validation

[Gabriel_Artiola]

Hi. Can you suggest what other ways to validate the action that been made by the robot?
Example scenario

1. Opens a vb application
2. type text
3. pressed enter
4. New screen shows

I need to somewhat validate that it went to the right screen.
Btw, using get element dont work well to the application, sometimes it detects the object but mostly not, same with other OCR tools

Thank you in advance

If you want to validate automatically, you already mentioned how you do that. You look for an element that only exists on that screen. ( or look for something that should NOT be on that screen )

If you want to validate yourself, you could start recording the screen for a few days/runs to ensure it works as expected. ( install the optional avi recorder extension )

Basic Activities

You can even enable the automatic screen recorder, by looking under settings → recorder plugins, there you can configure settings for automatic recordings. But i do not recommend using that to much, this was meant to be used for recording fail workflows, for SHORT workflows. ( the videos can get very big, very fast if a workflow runs for a long time )
