It is observed quite frequently that OpenScript of Oracle Application Testing Suite would not capture the steps performed on a browser when you try to record the test scenario on an Internet Explorer browser.

Some of the issues faced are:

• Openscript records only one statement which is closing of browser, irrespective of what ever operations you perform on the application under test.
• Internet Explorer browser crashes when recording the steps of a test case over the browser using Openscript ( i.e. IDE of Oracle Application Testing Suite )

In order to solve this issue, we should make sure that Openscript IDE is always run as Administrator.

Step by Step Instructions to make OpenScript run as administrator always:

• Open Windows Start Menu for Operating Systems below Windows 8 ( i.e. for Windows 7, XP , etc.. )
• Type OpenScript
• Right click on OpenScript and select Properties context menu

• Click on Compatibility tab of OpenScript Properties window
•  Check the check box “Run this program as an administrator” under Privilege Level Section.

• Click OK Button

Now your OpenScript launches with admin privileges by default, but it might popup with Security Notification whenever you launch Openscript, you can proceed by clicking on Yes. But, it would be annoying to click “Yes” button every time you launch OpenScript.

Steps to make Never Notify in “User Account Control Settings”

• Open Windows Start Menu for Operating Systems below Windows 8 ( i.e. for Windows 7, XP , etc.. )
• Type User Account Control Settings and select “Change User Account Control Settings” option
• You must be in a position where it says “Always Notify”

• Drag it down to “Never Notify”

• Click on OK Button.

Now you will not be notified every time OpenScript is launched.

You will be able to do all these settings only if you have full Admin Privileges to the user account, else you will have use below option to launch OpenScript every time.

• Open Windows Start Menu for Operating Systems below Windows 8 ( i.e. for Windows 7, XP , etc.. )
• Type OpenScript
• Right click on OpenScript and select Run As Administrator option.

• In case you get a Notification, click yes to continue.
