Release 23.12
See what's new in Perfecto 23.12 (released on October 1, 2023):
Scriptless Web enhancements
Object Spy
For the accurate selection of elements in your web application during the test execution phase, Perfecto now introduces Object Spy for Scriptless Web. Selecting an element is helpful when you need to add a new step to the test.
Similar to the Object Spy functionality available for manual testing and Scriptless Mobile, Object Spy for Scriptless Web supports the test creation process by making it possible to select specific elements in the web application under test. On the OBJECT TREE tab, you can explore objects in the hierarchical view of all objects retrieved from the open web page or switch to the PROPERTIES tab to see the object attributes and bindings of a selected object.
You can also search for a specific object based on object properties.
To access Object Spy, click the scouting icon on the toolbar above the browser.
Watch this short video to see how you can use Object Spy to select or search for objects when you need to add a test step. For details, see the Object Spy documentation for Scriptless Web.
