Understanding a Basic Script/Flow

Script Variables
1 2
3
Script Variables are ‘containers’ for storing information needed in the script
16
Example: Writing a script on a Cloud Device Step-By-Step
• Can select Device according to criteria or hardware• Device may be busy
or unavailable• Easy to switch
How to do it-Select Device commands finds device according to criteria-Accepts multiple criteria & regex-Value provided to open device command that makes device available for script-Close device at end of script
17
Selecting Devices for your Script
Depending upon what point you are at, there are two methods for selecting a device.
Method 1:During Scripting
Method 2:In Production
18
The commands in our script
• Home • Navigates device to idle screen• Unlocks device• Recommended to always use before actual script begins
19
The commands in our script
• Browser Go to• Opens a URL• Browser parameter options
• OS – Chrome/Safari/Explorer (Recommended)• Default – according to what is set on the device• Perfecto – legacy browser (depends on version of Perfecto
20
The commands in our script (continued)
• Text checkpoint• Validates text appears on
screen• Uses OCR to find text• Timeout defines how long
to wait for text to appear
21
Validations and Validation ParametersSync and Check are Validations Timeout is a Validation
Parameter
SYNC and CHECK are the same command. SYNC has a default timeout of 60 seconds and CHECK does not.
TIMEOUT is the duration in which the system will search continually for the 'needle'.
22
How to work with commands
• Question mark links to function reference• Each command has full documentation of all parameters
and usage
• Advanced parameters• Click checkbox• Use only when needed• Allows customizations
23
Saving your Script
• Repository folders• Public• Group• Private
• Editing scripts written by another user• It is not possible to edit a script written by another user,
even if it is in a shared repository folder. • It is possible to open the script and save it under another name,
this will make you the owner of the script And allow editing.• Running a script written by another user is possible.
24
Running the script
• Scripts can be run from Perfecto Application/IDE• Each run generates report
• Reports can be shared and downloaded• Reports contain line by line breakdown of execution• Some commands (e.g. checkpoint) automatically
generate screenshots in report• Screenshots and Video
