How can i test a website

[saimram]

Hi Friends:

I have used Hotmail.com, and i started to record and play by giving my user name and password, and next i clicked inbox to see the message contents here i have stopped recording and saved the QTP file,
At this point i have total 9 unread messages that is showing like
Inbox (9)
I read some 2 messages now the inbox count shows Inbox (7) and closed the hotmail

Next time when i run the script, it worked properly till username and password, but it fail saying that it is unable to recognize Inbox (9),

As now the inbox as 7 unread messages it is failing, how can make it dynamic so that what ever the unread message count is it should work?

Expecting to get an answer,
Thank you in advance.
Regards,

the error it is giving is that

Hi ,
You have to use regular expressions set to the controls added in object repository. Like the control showing "Inbox(9)" should be of Link type & you have to set regular expression for it as "(Inbox.*)"

But how to use regular expressions set to the controls added in object repository?

[Saket]

open object repository
select the Test object (in your case may be a link object name Inbox(..))
You will see the description properties 'text' at object properties pane
select the value of text property, it must be inbox(..)
you will find a button( <#> ) appeared there click the button
new window will pop up, Check on the regualr expression there
say Yes if prompted.
you will get something like 'Inbox\(..\)'
delete every thing after Inbox\ and put a '.*' there
Click OK

That's it,
hope this will help you.
