To learn more about the Perfecto repository, see Manage the repository. Click the Select media link, browse to the file, and then click SELECT.

Value*

String | Secured String

 

The text or encoded text to insert in the edit field. The text can be in any language.

If the type is Secured string, then when you start entering a string into the Value field, a lock button appears to the right. To encrypt the string, click the lock button .

Label position

String

Left | Right | Above | Below | Left-Above | Left-Below | Right-Above | Right-Below

The label position relative to the field.

  • Left: The label is to the left of the searched edit field.

  • Right: The label is to the right of the searched edit field.

  • Above: The label is above the searched edit field.

  • Below: The label is below the searched edit field.

  • Left-Above: The label is to the left and above the edit field.

  • Left-Below: The label is to the left and below the edit field.

  • Right-Above: The label is to the right and above the edit field.

  • Right-Below: The label is to the right and below the edit field.

Label offset

String

 

This value can be in pixels or in percentage of screen height (0-100). For percentage, use the % sign. Example: 20%

Used alongside the Label position parameter. If the label position is None, then the label offset is 0. Otherwise, the label offset default is 10%.

Analysis source

String

Primary | Native | Camera | Auto

The source for retrieving the screen content.

  • Primary: The screenshot taken from the device (higher resolution but slower performance).

  • Native: Native device controls.

  • Camera: The screenshot is taken from the video stream (lower resolution but faster performance).

  • Auto: Native device controls, if available. Otherwise, digital screen image, if available. Otherwise, analog screen image.

Operation

String

Single tap | Double tap | Long tap | Trackball roll | No touch

The touch operation to perform on the found label location.

Timeout

Number

 

The time, in seconds, to wait for the label to appear.

For a dynamic screen, specify the expected waiting time for the label to appear. Example: page load time

The timeout contains the system analysis time. For this reason, consider specifying at least 20 seconds.

Threshold

Number

 

The acceptable match level percentage, between 20 and 100.

Values that are too low can lead to a false positive result, while values that are too high can lead to a false negative result.

Scroll and search

String

False | True

Scrolls until the label is found. Scroll cannot be used together with a positive timeout value because the parameters dictate a different behavior when the needle is not found. When scrolling is enabled, the timeout must be zero.

Scroll results in a longer execution time.

Max scroll

Number

 

The maximum number of scroll actions to perform before returning.

Finding the label will stop the scrolling.

Effective values are in the range of 0-100.

Label top

String

 

The top value of the image area defining the label.

The value is in pixels. Default is the entire image.

Label height

String

 

The height value of the image area defining the label.

The value is in pixels. Default is the entire image.

Label left

String

 

The left value of the image area defining the label.

The value is in pixels. Default is the entire image.

Label width

String

 

The width value of the image area defining the label.

The value is in pixels. Default is the entire image.

Haystack top

String

 

The top value of the screen area where to search for the label.

Values can be in pixels or in percentage of screen width (0-100). For percentage, use the % sign. Example: 20%

Default is to search the entire screen.

Consider reducing the resolution in very long scripts that result in large report files.

Haystack height

String

 

The height value of the screen area where to search for the label.

Values can be in pixels or in percentage of screen width (0-100). For percentage, use the % sign. Example: 20%

Default is to search the entire screen.

Consider reducing the resolution in very long scripts that result in large report files.

Haystack left

String

 

The left value of the screen area where to search for the label.

Values can be in pixels or in percentage of screen width (0-100). For percentage, use the % sign. Example: 20%

Default is to search the entire screen.

Consider reducing the resolution in very long scripts that result in large report files.

Haystack width

String

 

The width value of the screen area where to search for the label.

Values can be in pixels or in percentage of screen width (0-100). For percentage, use the % sign. Example: 20%

Default is to search the entire screen.

Consider reducing the resolution in very long scripts that result in large report files.

Match mode

String

Same size | Any size | Bounded size

The needle comparison method.

  • Same Size: Needle and haystack are from the same origin (device screen) and size. Matching is faster and simpler.

  • Any Size: Needle and haystack are either not from the same origin (needle is from another device or another source) or not in the same size (different ratio or size). Matching is slower and more complex.

    Selecting Any Size increases the analysis time. The timeout values should be increased accordingly.

  • Bounded Size: Same as Any Size with restrictions on possible needle sizes. This mode can decrease the Any Size analysis time by using apriori knowledge on needle sizes or by decreasing the size of a haystack.

Visual relation direction

String

Left | Right | Above | Below | Left-Above | Left-Below | Right-Above | Right-Below | Inside

The direction of the related region, stored in memory from the last found needle, in relation to the searched needle.

  • Left: The related region is to the left of the searched needle.

  • Right: The related region is to the right of the searched needle.

  • Above: The related region is above the searched needle.

  • Below: The related region is below the searched needle.

  • Left-Above: The related region is to the left and above the searched needle.

  • Left-Below: The related region is to the left and below the searched needle.

  • Right-Above - The related region is to the right and above the searched needle.

  • Right-Below: The related region is to the right and below to the searched needle.

  • Inside: The searched needle is inside the related region boundaries of the related region.

For more information, see Visual Relations.

Visual relation inline

String

Horizontal | Vertical

The search area is in-line with the related region, stored in memory from the last found needle.

  • Horizontal: The needle is within the height (top to button) boundaries of the related region

  • Vertical: The needle is within the width (left to right) boundaries of the related region

Interval

Number

 

The minimum time interval, in seconds, for a single analysis.

If the analysis operation takes less than the interval, wait the remaining time before the next analysis operation.

Backlight

String

 

The key sequence to perform the backlight operation.

Example: VOL_UP

For best practice, use a key that will not change the screen.

Next

String

SWIPE_UP | SWIPE_DOWN | SWIPE_RIGHT | SWIPE_LEFT | UP | DOWN | RIGHT | LEFT

The key sequence to perform the scroll operation.

For more information see Swipe Gesture in Analysis Functions.
