2. How to do objects synchronization in Autoczar?

Autoczar gives opportunities to synchronize objects statically as well as dynamically.

Type of Synchronization	Keyword	Purpose
Static	Wait	User can let Autoczar test-step execution wait statically.
Dynamic	WaitForApplication	User can let Autoczar test-step execution wait dynamically for application exists. For example, If Use has test-case which launches application under test and performs test. In such scenarios, He\She can draw test-step with this Keyword.
	WaitForObjectProperty	User can let Autoczar test-step execution wait dynamically for specific object property exists For Example, If User has test-case which submits valid data inputs; While filling inputs in form, AUT dynamically checks for valid or invalid inputs based on this background validation, AUT makes Button: Submit enable or disable. He\She can use Keyword: WaitForObjectProperty along with expected property(enable\disable) to wait before click on Submit button.
Customized	Customized keyword	User can create its own keyword and integrates with Autoczar for custom synchronization as per the needs.

Dynamic Synchronization in sample test-steps

Action	Field Screen	Input	Expected
OpenApplication		AUT url
WaitForApplication	MainAUTWindowObject	10
Input	FormEditboxObject1	Some inputs
Input	FormEditboxObject2	Some inputs
Input	FormEditboxObject3	Some inputs
WaitForObjectProperty	SubmitButtonObject	enabled,true,8
Click	SubmitButtonObject

It will open application under test and wait for AUT MainWindow appears until 10 seconds then it will fill the inputs and wait for Submit button gets enable until 8 sec to click button.

3. How to work with Recovery Scenarios in Autoczar?

Autoczar has an Exception Handling. User can create steps to handle while exception raised and associate exceptions to one or many test-suites. For Example, I have test-cases which Log In to shopping web site and purchase few items. In few web-pages, IE pops up with security message like

To handle such pops up, one can create steps in exception handle and associate them to the test-suite so Autoczar will handle such unexpected pops-up dialog-box while test-cases are executing.
