This document contains instructions for four Python exercises for automating TestArchitect actions. The first exercise has the objective of overriding an existing "check control exist" action to add a warning argument using a new Python module. The second exercise involves creating four new actions - "does control exist", "check url", "get tree node coordinates", and "get selected item" - with the objective of creating TA actions with return values and using the Control package classes.

Override the “check control exist” action of TA
with a “warning” argument using Python harness
(put the function in a new module in harness. i.e.:
“mod_actions.py”) (2pts)
Objectives:
-Creating a new Python module to implement TestArchitect actions
-Overriding a built-in action of TestArchitect using Python harness
