Editing Verifications

Verify Actions can be added to your test during creation, while reviewing execution results in Slider View, during a Live Debug run, or in a Local Edit session. When it comes to editing Verify Actions, the Action Settings as found in the Test Detail page and Slider View offer you practically all the options found in Architect without using Live Debug or Local Edit.

NOTE: The screenshots in this article are pulled from the Actions Settings when accessed via the Test Detail page. The options are the same when accessing Action Settings via Slider View.

See User Guide: Action Settings.

Attribute Validation

Attribute Validation allows a user to verify specific attributes of an element, most commonly used is text, value, and SRC, though all attributes are accessible. Combined with Operators like 'contains', 'greater than' and 'equals step value', specific verifications can be added easily with no code required.

Verify only a single element at a time, not a div that contains multiple elements as this will limit the self healing properties of the test and make it harder to diagnose.

Execution error details will display in the bottom of the expanded Action when viewed on the Test Detail page.

Execution error details will display in the Action panel when in Slider View.

Advanced Tab

The Advanced tab of the Action Settings for Verify Actions contains a few more options than the Advanced tab of many other actions including Action Retries and Retry Count. Options to add Pre and Post scripts as well as flags for clearing cookies are present as with other Actions. This tab also offers the Selector Type tile for overrides as detailed in User Guide: Customizing Tests with Selectors.
