I'm planning to create a simple program that would automate the process by searching the dynamic list inputted and provided by the user and export it to Excel file.
The challenge is How to create UI using Automation Anywhere Application, that would accept adding the input value from the user like same controls in .Net (buttons, textbox, messagebox, etc...)
Does anyone knows how to attain it?
Automation anywhere does not provide the functionality to create a UI, as the technology makes use of the existing infrastructure, highlighting the non intrusive nature of the Robotic Process Automation or (RPA) tool.
I'm sure you will be able to create a simple UI using VBA/VB.net which should get the work done. ( Like the one below)
Using the UI you can use the plethora of commands in the Automation Anywhere command library to interact with your UI and automate the process.
I know this is an old post, hope that helps !!

Guys! I'm kinda new in cypress and was looking in this link (https://www.cypress.io/blog/2019/01/03/stop-using-page-objects-and-start-using-app-actions/ )to see the diff between page objects and app actions. Since app actions are brand new, i was not able to find any documentation to help me out. In the link above, there was an example of how to predefine values on the page so no UI interaction is required. I was able to follow the steps and realize the changes here, but i don't know how to do that outside this example.
How could i manipulate cypress application to do that?
Skimming the article, the idea of application actions is to export an API/hooks from your application that your test can use to interact with the app (its model, state etc.), for the purpose of speeding up certain workflows (such as seeding the model), awaiting certain events etc.
There's nothing magical about it, but it requires knowing your app architecture — what you need to export (i.e. expose on the window object), and how to interact with it. If you're not the developer of the app (e.g. you work in a separate QA department), and treat the app as a black box, then you'll need to discuss with the dev team how best to implement this.
Each app is different, and depending on the app architecture (What framework does it use? How does it store state/model? etc.), each solution will be different.
I am looking for creating a functional training package for a web based product (more like a screen capture).
However, the requirement is not just to have screen capture, but to have a test mode for the training where we can prompt the user to click on the screen and check if they have done proper flow.
for e.g. A banker will first go through the screen capture to see "how to open an account" in the core banking application . Later user will be presented with a test where user has to click through all the controls and flow.
I have seen selenium being used for authoring good UI automation test cases, so I wanted to explore the possibility of using selenium for creating these training modules
These training modules needs to be launched from intranet application. Is it possible to launch selenium authored UI automation test cases from the browser? I want to stay away from writing any extensions or plugins.
I haven't used selenium and I might be completely off tangent here, so any other suggestion to achieve this using open source tools are welcome.
Without writing any scripts, you may consider downloading Selenium IDE. It has a recording and replay function that may meet your need.
For a fast tutorial, please follow this link.

The title says it almost all.
There are tools like AutoHotKey and AutoIt that allow one to send text to fill up on-line web forms and process the the POST answer.
I know that Rebol can do the latter. But what about the former?
There's a script I wrote which was to look at web forms, extract the various variables, and allow you to POST the form, and then capture the output. This was just a test prior to figuring out how to automate the login to Stackoverflow which has since been done.
While Zapier is very powerful at putting glue between various APIs, I stumbled upon the use case of creating Zaps programmatically, which would offer even more flexibility.
I did some investigation and it appears that Zapier, to this date, does not provide a public API for doing so. Is there any workaround for that ?
Not currently. Creating a zap involves a lot of UI steps (6 or 7) - many of which depend on choices made in each previous step, so trying to do all that through a remote script might be difficult and messy. Maybe share some ideas on your specific use-case: why do you need to create a zap programmatically?
Keep in mind you can also create private apps on Zapier so if there is specific functionality you need to use with Zapier you can do that without exposing it to the world.
The year 2017 Zapier introduced their Command Line Interface, which makes possible building your app programatically via JavaScript.
You can take a look at the Example Apps as well as the CLI-docs.
Haven't found this in my search on Stackoverflow - I know I've seen a tool like it before, for obtaining control names or IDs in Windows apps which can then be used for reference in automated testing, in tools like AutoIt. Can anyone suggest one?
I've tried the OLE/COM Object Viewer and while it has control lists, there's no interactive method with it. Like the web developer toolkit in Firefox where you can click a control and get all the information about it, I'm after a similar app for Windows testing.
It's called Spy++.
Found the tool I wanted, either NUnitForms - which means you can use the NUnit Framework to access windows forms, and includes a Recorder tool for identifying the controls, as well as Managed Spy for giving the individual component names as well as every bit of other info - font, color, size. Very nice.
