Arrange Applications for Reliable AIQ Desktop Testing
Arrange Applications for Reliable AIQ Desktop Testing
Arrange desktop applications consistently before an AIQ desktop test runs. Predictable window placement helps reduce failures caused by hidden controls, overlapping windows, or unexpected screen resolution changes.
Recommended setup
- Use a dedicated test machine or session for desktop automation.
- Set the display resolution and scaling before recording or running tests.
- Open only the applications required by the scenario.
- Place the application under test in a known position and avoid overlapping windows.
- Disable pop-ups, notifications, and screen savers that can cover the application.
Validation workflow
- Start from a clean desktop session.
- Open the required application and arrange it as expected.
- Run a short smoke test that validates the first interaction and a key screen state.
- Capture a screenshot if the arrangement is part of the support procedure.
