I am unsure what to record as the image of an element, what is the best practise?
Make sure to only record the static part of an element. For example only the label of a textbox and not the box itself, because the content of the box itself can change.
Also test what happens if you change the size of your application window, for example a button could get smaller and smaller, so only capture the static text inside the button and not the border.
If there are multiple variants of an element make sure to record an image for all variants (like a button gets bigger on mouseover, or a link is blue first and purple if you already clicked it)
I want to verify if a teststep was successful, by searching for an Image not recorded in the model
For example if you want to verify the content of the confirmation PDF you get at the end of your teststep. You do not want to add images of the PDF to the model, as they are very specific to the teststep.

My test execution just stopped in the middle of a testrun, what happend?
If an execution just stops it usually means an expected element or a screen was not found in which case the test engine aborts. Our debug log will tell you precisely at which point during the execution which element was not found.
To access the Debug Log in a Visual Studio test run, make sure to open the Output window (in View --> Output) and switch the "Show output from" dropdown to "TestResults.io Public" or "TestResults.io Debug" for even more details.
Use the following FAQ chapters to help you how to fix if an element was not found or found in the wrong location.
An element is not found during the test execution, how do I fix it?
First make sure the element is visible on the test environment and for example your navigation to the screen was correctly executed.
Compare your captured image with what is actually displayed on the test environment. Depending on your applications elements may look different if they were already clicked once, or on mouseover, or if the focus is somewhere else.
An element is found in the wrong location, how do I fix it?
Our image search engine allows some deviation while comparing your captured image to the test environment. Usually this is very helpful as the visual rendering on the test environment is not always the same if you compare each pixel by pixel.
In case some elements look very similar (e.g. some icons look almost the same) this allowed deviation can lead to mismatches.
I have multiple Elements which look exactly the same, how can I make sure the correct one is used?
Example for setting a Select depending on another ReferenceElement
Example for using a Select with a ColorFill on an Image:
None of the existing Screen Elements work for my case, what can I do?
How do I change the settings for an Element?
Some settings use the keyword "static", these are applied to all elements of e.g. Type Textbox. We recommend to configure these inside the constructor of your App Class (you can find it inside your Model Project in the File App.cs, the constructor is the Method with the same name as your class)
TextBox.DefaultType = TextBoxType.OCR;
OCR is reading the text on the screen wrong, what can I do to fix it?
I wrote some functions on my Screens, why are they not accessible in the Test Case Designer?
To have some kind of filter the Test Case Designer only has access to functions which are marked as "Model Capabilities".
The Test Case Designer needs to load new functions before you can select them. Click the Link to refresh. If the notification is not showing you can always reload the functionalities and screens with the green marked Icon.
