ATF Limitations

[ServiceNow SA]

Hi ,

I wanted to know the limitations in ATF(currently working on London). I tried to read other posts as well , but not getting any exact pointers. While creating test steps, i noticed below are not achievable :

• Service Catalog (Two-step checkout enabled) cannot be tested as ATF does not support 
• Record creation from related list not possible.
• Record creation from search lookup not possible.
• Clickable field link test not possible.
• Position of the fields(For eg. If field ‘a’ is above/below field ‘B’’) not possible.
• Notification content cannot be tested.
• Alert, popups and info messages cannot be tested.

Can anyone confirm on this?

All of the assumptions are true. There are some limitations in ATF, it is a evolving product and every release they are planning to add new improvements.

Thanks for the information. Are any of these limitations in London version resolved in New York version ?. If yes, may I which are the ones.

A lot of these are now testable in the New York and Orlando releases. You can read through the ATF release notes of those releases for more details.

• New York ATF Release Notes
• Orlando ATF Release Notes

Generally, you want to focus on business-critical applications and processes with your ATF tests and suites, and then within those you want to focus on your customizations. I don't think test the position of a field would generally useful. Could you elaborate on why you're wanting to test that?
