Description:

Under View -> Scanning, you manage the scanning processes associated with the selected web object. BrowserBob applications can react to the documents loaded in a web object in specific ways, using the scanning functionality.

 

 

The header of the tools window displays the name of the selected object. Scanning: Main Web signifies that you can add and manage scanning processes owned by the Main Web object here. Select a different web object on your workspace in order to access associated scanning processes.

 

 

Adding a scanning process:

Click the + symbol in the lower right corner of the window, in order to add a new scanning process.

 

Setting up the scanning process:

Scan: in the field Scan you enter the string you want to compare with your source (scan for this string).

 

Source: under Source you select where to scan for the string (full details in the scanning reference).

 

Target, Action, Parameter: specification of the action to be performed if the scanning process finds a matching string.

 

Fuzzy: in case of an activated Fuzzy checkbox, the source is investigated if it contains the string entered under Scan anywhere. If Fuzzy is deactivated, only a complete match of the exact strings will trigger the specified action.

 

Full reference about a scanning process is available in the scanning reference.

 

Deleting a scanning process:

Select the scan you want to delete from the list by clicking on it and click the - (minus) symbol in order to delete the scan.
