Asqatasun v4 - Asqatasun scenario advanced usage

Triggering additional audits in a scenario

Inside a given scenario, an audit is triggered each time the URL changes (e.g. when the user clicks a links or submits a form button).

You may trigger additional audits by adding the Selenium command storeCurrentUrl.

Let's enhance the Transport for London example. Say once we have the list of possible paths, we want to evaluate the accessibility of the page, showing the details of a path.

We complete the existing scenario. Replay the scenario already created, then click the little menu icon besides the last step (numbered 6 in our example), and choose Record after.

Let say we want to view the detail of the second path, and also have information about its accessibility.

If sent as is in Asqatasun, the result of the scenario won't show the "third page" (precisely the detail of the path shown by the Javascript button View Details). We have to add a storeCurrentUrl command at the end of the scenario.

Click on the mini-menu icon besides the last step, choose new step below.
Click on 9 clickElement and select Store and storeCurrentUrl

Then click on Variable just next the storeCurrentUrl, and type tanaguru-Result_detailed_view.

The variable must be at least tanaguru. You may add a -my_title_for_this_state_of_the_page to distinguish one storeCurrentUrl from another.

Upload the scenario to Asqatasun and launch it. You can now see a third "page" tested.

Adding a pause

You may want to add a pause. This is typically used when a page is slow to respond.

To do this, add a Selenium command: click on the "mini-menu" besides a step and choose New step below. Click on clickElement and choose Misc then Pause. Define the duration of the pause in millisecondes.

Adjust selectors

The Webdriver element locator extension may be of a great help to adjust precisely the selectors used in a scenario.
