The Static SharedNav User class that implements custom logic for shared navigation methods.  Shared navigation methods include the HostLogon, HostLogoff, NavToHomeScreen and any other navigation methods that are shared between the Task module (standard and auto-logon sessions) and the PooledSession module, which handles logging-on, homescreen management and logging off for Pooled sessions.

 

The Custom Code properties are special code-oriented string properties with a dedicated editor and the capability for import/export functionality between the Tester GUI generations and the full application generation.

 

Since Logging-on, Home screen navigation and Logging off are common across all testing modules as well as the full web service solution, it is important that those methods can be shared once perfected.

 

Frequently, especially for complex requirements, the HostLogon method will benefit from customization.  When this is recognized, if one developer works hard to perfect the HostLogon method, the perfected code can be placed in this property (as part of the complete SharedNav class) and thus propagated across all unit testing GUI generations as well as the full web service.

 

Empty, un-customized SharedNav property--any one or all methods can be customized in place of calling the "CG" versions:
