Full summary

QaSCRIBE V3 is the test script "authoring" tool that can help you rapidly automate your manual test cases and run them locally on your computer and on the Worksoft Cloud.

It is a 'programming-less' scripting tool that supports a wide variety of commands and constructs:

• Identifying and interacting with User-interface elements within your applications • Conditional (Branching) Logic (If, ElseIF, Else, EndIf) • Looping & Jumping Flow Control (While, For, ForEach, Continue, Break, GoTo, GoToIf, Label, SkipNext and ExitTest) • Testing UI Look & Feel/Styles (font style, size, colors, etc.,) • Encryption of sensitive data within your tests • Simultaneous capture of all available location schemes for UI elements • Interact with SOAP/REST services and databases, even if they are behind your firewalls

The tests you develop using QaSCRIBE get executed as WebDriver tests on the Worksoft Cloud on 1000+ desktop and mobile browsers, OS and device combinations. QaSCRIBE is only needed for your script authoring and NOT required (or is not utilized) when your automated tests get executed on the Worksoft Cloud.

QaSCRIBE is developed based on WebExtensions API and supports running on Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox.

XPath Helper makes it easy to extract, edit, and evaluate XPath queries on any webpage.

IMPORTANT: After installing this extension, you must reload any existing tabs or restart Chrome for the extension to work.

  1. Open a new tab and navigate to any webpage.
  2. Hit Ctrl-Shift-X (or Command-Shift-X on OS X), or click the XPath Helper button in the toolbar, to open the XPath Helper console.
  3. Hold down Shift as you mouse over elements on the page. The query box will continuously update to show the XPath query for the element below the mouse pointer, and the results box will show the results for the current query.
  4. If desired, edit the XPath query directly in the console. The results box will immediately reflect your changes.
  5. Repeat step (2) to close the console.

If the console gets in your way, hold down Shift and then move your mouse over it; it will move to the opposite side of the page.

One word of caution: When rendering HTML tables, Chrome inserts artificial
