Testing in different tabs

Creating a test that interacts with different browser tabs? Read on to learn more about how it works in mabl:

Testing in new tabs

When you click on a link that opens a page in a new tab, the mabl Trainer automatically records a step that waits for the tab to open. To start testing in the new tab, create an assertion or click on an element. The Trainer automatically detects that you switched to the new tab and adds a switch context step before the recorded steps.

Tabs with dynamic titles or URLs

If your application opens new tabs with dynamically generated titles or URLs, update Configure Find settings for the "Wait for tab" step to match the dynamically generated title or URL of the new tab.

Returning to the initial tab

If you start recording steps on the initial tab, the Trainer adds another step to switch context back to the initial tab before your recorded steps.
