Edit Sequence – Edit Records

The result of the replaying recorded operation may differ depending on the app’s behaviour and/or situation. For example, the difference of the wait / delay because of the network speed, device load or such causes the different result from the recorded case. In such cases, the same operation does not reproduce the same result.

FRep2 can replay the operations with the function to judge the situation, to obtain desired results. Edit sequence pane can be opened from Edit Sequence in Edit Records.

Note that by default settings, FRep2 stops functions when running app changes to call screen or Google Play app (see Apps). In addition, each record has Interruption settings to abort replay by any app or orientation change.


Sequence, the content of the record

The content of the record is shown as sequence item list.

The sequence is consists of items of operation record and control, and they are executed in numerical order during replay. Operation records will replay the operations recorded by console. Controls will judge the situation, repeat a part of sequence, or such. You can set the destinations of the control for judgement, for success and for fail respectively, to switch the next item to be executed.

For example, to download multiple documents of different sizes, which may take different time for each single process, you can prepare the repeat with recognition of ‘finish’ image to wait and progress properly. Or, to mark undetermined number targets in the list, which may require different position to tap, you can prepare the repeat with search some ‘unmarked’ image to detect the position.

* Please be sure to insert some wait time if the replay has repeat of operations which perform network communications, to avoid the load on the communication destination.
