Actually CAPTCHA is something like, random number or digit generated everytime when we open that particular page...

for example: while registring a new user in yahoo or gmail at last we need to enter some number/alphabets what it shows right..... that is also a CAPTCHA...

In my application i have to record a similar page like that..... everytime when i go for that page some combination of random number gets generated.... how can i record such scenario??????

please help me in this issue.....


Thanks,

Somi,

The captcha cannot be read by Sahi. If it could, it defeats the purpose of the captcha.

The way to handle this is to make a backend call to the webserver from your script and figure out what the correct word for the captcha is. Most of the time the word is stored in the database against some key. And the key may be in a cookie or embedded in a page. (There would be some way of getting at this key). Then make a call to your database and get the word against that key. Then use it in your tests.
