  • Step 6: Call Tap method and pass the object of WebView
  • Step 7: Add wait commands to wait for 'Hello world' link to be visible.
  • Step 8: Call 'Get Element Height' method and capture the of "Hello World" height to store it in a variable named 'ele_Height'.
  • Step 9: Call 'Get Element Width' method and capture the of "Hello World" element width to store it in 'ele_Width'.
  • Step 10: Add 'Pinch To Zoom In At Position' method from mobile keyword list and pass the following values in: eleHeight, eleWidth, Offset value.

  • Step 11: After zooming in, we need to verify that element has been zoomed. Thus, we need to re-capture the element Height and Width.
  • Step 12: After zooming the element height and width should be greater than the existing height and width in the test. By using 'Verify Greater Than' method, we can validate the element height and width.

As you can see from the step-by-step guide above, there are repeated steps that will be easier to create in Script Mode. Thus, we suggest the users to utilize this feature where one can quickly automate the test scenario and easily manage test scripts.
