Graphical User Interface(GUI)

What Is GUI?
A computer user interface is the place where machine and human being communicate with each other. It is how we tell computers what we want and how they present to us the information we request. Today, the most common user interfaces involve a keyboard, viewscreen, and, more and more often, a mouse.
A graphical user interface is a computer-user interface that uses graphical screen images as well as typed text,with icons on the screen replacing many of the functions of the keyboard. For example, in a typed text interface, the command to move data from one file to another is typed into the computer as a line of code meaning, Send this letter from file A to file B.” In GUI, a user might send this command by placing the cursor on the letter (represented by the image of an envelope), and moving it with a mouse across the screen from file A (represented as a rectangle), to file B(represented as another rectangle). Click the mouse, and the transfer is complete. Many sighted people find GUI easier to use, because they don't have to remember or to look up special commands for each program function. Less time is spent figuring out how to get the computer to do what you want it to do. GUI can be used by people who are blind and visually impaired, provided they have a reliable screen reader to translate what's on the screen into braille or synthesized speech. The development of screen readers for the older,DOS-based systems is quite advanced, and a number of private companies presently compete for the screen reader market.

Setting Actions as Reusable Actions

Reusable actions are like functions in programming. When you have a process that you may need to include in several tests, you record, modify, and enhance the steps of the process and save them in a reusable action. Then you can call the action from other tests, rather than recording, modifying, and enhancing the same steps each time. To call an action from another test, you must make it a reusable action in the test with which it was stored. The Sign_in and ReturnHome action you created in this lesson can apply to almost any test you might create on the Mercury Tours site, so it makes sense to make them reusable actions. Make the Sign_in action reusable. In the Keyword View, right-click the Sign_in action and choose Action Properties. The Action Properties dialog box opens. Select the Reusable action check box and click OK. If a message box is displayed, read the message, click Do not show this dialog box again, and click OK. The action icon changes to a reusable action icon . ...
