The Left Pane
The TestFactory Interface

The Left Pane
The left pane is the primary workspace in TestFactory. TestFactory places the
Application Map folder, and the UI Library folder in the left pane after you open a
project for the first time.
Until you map the AUT, the Application Map folder is empty. After you map the
application, the folder contains all of the AUT components, including various UI
objects, user actions, and transition elements.
The UI Library folder contains all of the object classes and subclasses known to
occur in graphical user interfaces. TestFactory uses it to reconcile and classify the
controls it encounters as it maps the AUT and creates scripts. The types of objects
found in the Application Map and UI Library folders are described in Chapter 4,
Developing and Working with the Application Map.

þ

right pane.
