How to get the URL of an image/icon with Katalon

For a test I'm working on, the status of an item in a table was shown using an icon. It is a yellow triangle for warning and a green checkmark for passed. For my test, I need to know which icon is displayed and act accordingly. In order to check that, I ended up reading the URL of the icon and checking which .PNG file is displayed. Like other elements on the page, the image needs to be defined as an object. To define the image, I created an object with this reference: (//td[@id='agreementSigned']/img)[${row}] It's sort of an odd reference since the icon is in a row within a table. But in essence, the /img lets us know we are defining and img object. To get the text or URL of the object, we need to use the GetAttribute command: agreementSigned=WebUI.getAttribute(findTestObject('Business Locations/img-Signed Agreement', [('row') : counter]), 'src') For the above we have the .getAttribute which looks at the definition of […]

Speaking of Notability, it’s $1.99 in the Mac App Store

If you're looking for a note taking app that can handle lists, checkboxes, images and hand writing, then Notability is a solid choice and may be even better since the price is a shockingly low $1.99. Notability is very good for putting together lists and checking the items off one by one. It's also easy to organize notes into groups or projects. From there, each project can have multiple notes associated with it. You can highlight text in different colors, add sound recordings and export to a couple of different formats such as PDF and RTF. There is also an iPad version so there will be no problem in creating notes on the Mac then looking them over in the iPad while in a meeting. I have done that a few times and it works well. Again, if you're looking for a good note taking app, Notability is worthing looking at, and now at really low price. Notability for Mac […]

Is Taskpaper worth the price of admission?

Over the past few weeks I've been doing quite a bit with Taskpaper. I've started tracking Jira tickets, created "test plans", set up ToDo lists and used it to highlight points for blog articles. It's very good at keeping track of lists and checklist items. It's also has great compatibility since everything is plain text. Your list can be copied into and read by anything. The tags can be quite helpful and the collapsable outline structure keeps things tidy. So, to ask, is Taskpaper worth the price of admission? If Taskpaper were $10, it would absolutely be worth it. However, it's more than double that price. At $25, it's not a cheap investment for something that quite literally makes bulleted lists, something that can be done in just about any text based app made for the Mac. And I have Scrivener, MWeb, DevonThink, and 2Do, just to name a few. Even Notability can perform the same kinds of tasks and […]
