This task shows you how to use the attributes pop-up window to capture automation attributes for test steps.

This task is a step in the Process of Implementing Siebel Open UI Keyword Automation Testing

Before capturing automation attributes for test steps, the following prerequisites apply:

• Ensure that the following behavior settings are set by navigating to Tools, User Preferences, Behavior
• Set Navigation Control to Tab.
• Set Theme to Aurora.
• Ensure that the Siebel application is running in AutoOn mode.
• Ensure that the URL command is set to the AutoOn mode, for example, as follows:

http://machinenumber:domainname:portname/siebel/app/callcenter/enu?SWECmd=AutoOn

Being in the AutoOn mode helps you to capture the automation attributes when navigating through the application.

To capture automation attributes for test steps

1. Start the Siebel application in a new browser.
2. To capture the automation attribute for a specific object or control, do the following:
   1. Position the mouse over the object or control for which the automation attributes are needed (for example, the plus (+) icon).
   2. Press the CTRL key on your keyboard and right-click your mouse button simultaneously.
   3. The Siebel Automation Information dialog box appears.
   4. Copy the string value from the COPY STRING field and paste it into the Paste Attributes field of the Test Step.
   5. Tab out of the Paste Attributes field in the Test Step.

The data will be automatically populated in the target object fields. For example: the AppletRN and ItemRN fields.
