Working with Web Browsers

You use a Web browser to record components that check Web objects. Before you begin recording, you must open your browser to the relevant Web page.

Note: By default, the name assigned to the Browser test object in the object repository is always the name assigned to the first page recorded for the browser object. The same test object is used each time you record on a browser with the same ordinal ID in future recording sessions. Therefore, the name used for the browser in the steps you record may not reflect the actual browser name.

QuickTest supports recording components on Microsoft Internet Explorer and running components on the following Web browsers:

Tips:

You can configure the browser to always display your pages using the Firefox engine. (In Netscape Browser, choose Tools > Options > Site Controls, and make sure that the Firefox radio button is selected in the Rendering Engine area.)

You can configure the browser to always display your pages using the Firefox engine by clearing the Automatically use the Internet Explorer Engine check box while installing Netscape Browser.
