Issue

Multiple UI actions have same name, so identifying the UI action related to form being tested in the ATF test step 'Click a UI Action' is confusing.

For example: Lets say we are creating an ATF test to open a dmn_demand form, populate some values and click save buttion.

In the ATF test step 'Click a UI Action', on clicking the search icon beside 'UI Action' and filtering for name is 'Save', we have multiple 'Save' UI actions.

Resolution

1. Open the form to be be tested in chrome browser manually.

2. Click on 'Customize and control Google Chrome' (three dots) and select 'More Tools' ==> 'Developer Tools'. Console log window is opened.

3.Click on 'Select an element in the page to inspect it' and then place the cursor on the UI action to be tested in ATF. We can find the sys_id of the UI action in the elements tab of browser console.

 

4. In the ATF test step 'Click a UI Action', Click on the search icon beside 'UI Action' and filter for sys_id is  'e24673f193c00300ea933007f67ffb1a'. Then the correct save UI action related to form being tested is visible.
