How do I verify removal of a screen element?

[Simon]

I'm a brand new user of the QA WebUI, using the evaluation version for... well... evaluation. :)

I want to know if this tool can verify the non-presence of a screen element.

The sequence I'm testing in our application is:
1) Select screen element.
2) Click "Remove" button.
3) Verify selected element has been removed from screen.

Does this tool perform this test? If so, where do I find the instructions on how to do it? The Quick Tasks menu has an option for "Verify - element is not visible", but it looks like I have to select the element on the screen to be able to operate this verification on it. However, a successful outcome would be that the element is no longer on the screen and therefore not selectable.

By the way, I'm not a developer; I'm a Business Analyst / Tester. I don't know how to write code. :)

Thanks for your help.

Hi Simon,Thank you for taking the time to evaluate WebUi Test Studio.

Yes you can verify an element no longer exists. The recording will seem a little backwards but here are the steps:

1. BEFORE you remove the element, use the Quick Tasks to add a "Wait - element does not exist" test step for the element you are about to remove.
2. Record clicking on Remove
3. Back in Test Explorer swap these two test steps (either use the up/down errors at the top of this pane or drag and drop one of the test steps).

There you have it. Let me know if you continue to have trouble with this.

All the best,

Thanks, Cody.

It took me a couple of attempts, but that worked for me.
