GUI Testing Calculator

Manual GUI testing can be a challenging task for applications with complicated interfaces. Use Robomotion as a testing tool and create desktop flows that replicate testing steps every time they are needed.

What GUI Testing Calculator can do

• Pre-test — Set Variables (Core.Flow.SubFlow): seeds the core identifiers and computes the CSV report file paths.
• Pre-test — Start Test Report (Core.Flow.SubFlow): writes the CSV header row to the temporary report file.
• Test setup — Launch App (Core.Flow.SubFlow): starts Calculator, waits for its window, captures its product version, then Resize and Position App normalises the window geometry.
• Test pass — Navigation Menu (Core.Flow.SubFlow): exercises the hamburger menu by switching between Graphing Calculator and Standard Calculator modes.
• Teardown — Close App (Core.Flow.SubFlow) then Finish Test Report (Core.Flow.SubFlow) writes the final report row and closes the target application before Core.Flow.Stop.
• Core.Trigger.Catch watches the Launch App, Resize and Position App, Navigation Menu, and Close App subflows — on any subflow error it invokes Log Errors (Core.Flow.SubFlow) and stops with failed and reason A subflow raised an error.

Behind the scenes

• The flow is orchestrated entirely from Core.Flow.SubFlow nodes; each step is an isolated subflow that can be run or debugged independently.
• The central Core.Trigger.Catch funnels errors from every test subflow into a single Log Errors path, so per-subflow Fail rows remain consistent in the CSV report.
• The success path lets each subflow write its own Pass row at the tail; the error path writes the corresponding Fail row — mirror this two-outcome shape when adding new test subflows.
• CSV writes inside the Log Errors branch should use continueOnError: true so logging a failure cannot itself abort the flow.
