HTML5 enhancements

TestArchitect offers significant enhancements for automating an AUT on HTML5. It also provides better support for existing built-in actions and introduces new supplemented built-in actions for the support of HTML5 audio/video controls.

• All existing built-in actions work with at least a subset of the supported HTML5 tags (controls). Additionally, the following built-in actions are applicable to all supported HTML5 tags (controls):

  Action	Description
  get control property	Retrieves the value of a control’s property.
  check control property	Captures the value of a specified property from a control, then compares it against an expected value. Result is Passed if the values match; otherwise Failed.
  check control exists	Checks for the existence of a control. Result is Passed if the specified control is found; otherwise Failed.
  check control not exists	Checks for the nonexistence of a control. Result is Passed if the specified control is not found; otherwise Failed.
  does control exist	Returns a Boolean value to indicate whether the specified control is found.

• TestArchitect also offers supplemental built-in actions for the support of HTML5 audio/video controls, offering you the ability to easily interact with media applications that rely on HTML5:

  Action	Description
  play	Plays a video/audio file at a specified starting point.
  pause	Pauses a video/audio file at a specified point.
  set volume	Sets volume for audio and video controls.
  set media property	Sets various values for audio and video controls.
