Here are some typical steps that should be included into web application testing script:

1. Wait until the web-page will be fully loaded in your browser

2. Do some action. For instance, click some button or on some link or select category from drop-list.

3. Check results against expected results.

How to do this with RoutineBot?

To wait until page is loaded use the following code:

repeat

res:=MouseFocuse('tag-in-browser.bmp',10000);

until res=1;

where tag-in-browser should be an image pattern for loaded tag in the browser.

How to check what results are there?

res1:=MouseFocuse('error-message1.bmp',10000);

res2:=MouseFocuse('error-message2.bmp',10000);

res3:=MouseFocuse('ok-message.bmp',10000);

if res1 = 1 then res_msg:='Failed: error message1';

if res2 = 1 then res_msg:='Failed: error message2';

if res3 = 1 then res_msg:='Passed';

WriteText('C:\tmp\res.txt', res_msg,1); //this command will append res_msg to the output file
