Why Zap-fix captures unrelated characters?

[Hogan RotemParticipant]

Hello Zap,

When we scan GUI using Zap-fix Workbench it sometimes captures objects’ characters which are not related to the Object’s caption – Why does it happen and how we can stop such collection of unnecessary characters?

Thanks

Hello HoRotem,

Thank-you for your question.

Basically the Scan GUI uses the Zap-fix OCR engine to capture objects’ caption, the OCR engine will read also unrelated caption characters (Characters which are not p[art of the objects’ captions):
– If there are number of similar objects’ captions in a GUI, by adding different characters to each object the OCR manages to identify each object more easily;
– If the objects’ captions cannot be identified due to reasons such as:
Dark background color, firstlast caption’s characters get closer too much to different other characters (Such as, borders of test-boxes, other captions, etc);

Hope this makes sense, please contact Zap for further help.

Thanks,
Sasha
