Adding a variable verification step

You can verify the values assigned to a variable. You can compare the values of two variables or compare the variable value with a constant value.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:
  • Ensured that you are assigned a Team Space Owner, Project Owner, or Member with a Tester role to create or edit a test resource.
  • Read and understood the information in Edit branch overview and Create or select an Edit branch.
  • Ensured that your project contains a Web UI test.

Procedure

  1. Click the Edit button displayed on the Test Editor page.

    The Edit button appears only when no active edit branch is selected.

    Alternatively, right-click the test in the test navigator panel and select Edit.

    The Edit branch dialog is displayed.
    If the Edit branch dialog is not displayed, then go to step 3.
  2. Select an existing edit branch or create a new edit branch.
  3. Drag and drop the Verify element under any test step as required from the General catalog in the Catalog tab.
  4. Click the Verify step.
    The step details pane is displayed.
  5. Perform the following steps in the step details pane:
    1. Click Click here to add a row to provide values to be verified under Verification Points.
    2. Enter variable name in the first column.
    3. In the operator field, select an option to indicate the basis of comparison of the two operands.
      The available operators are as follows:
      • Contains
      • Ends with
      • Code
      • Matches regex
      • File contents
      • Starts with
      • Equals
      • Equals variable
      • Doesn't equal variable
      • Doesn't match regex
      • Doesn't have file contents
      • Doesn't contain
      • Doesn't start with
      • Doesn't end with
    4. In the third column, enter a variable or value to be compared with the value of the selected variable in the first column.
    Additionally, you can add, duplicate or delete rows for verification.
  6. Click the Save icon to save the modifications.

Results

You have added a Verify step to compare the value of a variable from the General catalog in a Web UI test.

What to do next

You can run the test in Test Editor and view the Functional Report to verify the test steps with the variable assignment. See Running a Web UI test.
