String Generation

This is a pre-built Action located under the @Generic Element. The functionality of this Action in Avo Assure is to generate a random string of the specified length. The extracted value is stored in the given dynamic variable for further use during test execution.

Syntax

Input Value: <type>;<length>

Note:

• The following data types are supported:

  • Char/char (Character): Generates alphabetic characters (A–Z, a–z).

  • Num/num (Number): Generates numeric digits (0–9).

• The string type is not case-sensitive. For example, both Char;9 and char;9 are valid.

Argument	Description
<type> (Required)	Provide the data type (Char/Num) for the string you want to generate.
<length> (Required)	Provide the length of the random string to be generated. This defines how many characters or numbers the string should contain.

Output Value: <Dynamic Variable>;<Dynamic Variable>(Optional)

Argument	Description
<Dynamic Variable> (Required)	This dynamic variable stores the generated string.
<Dynamic Variable> (Optional)	This dynamic variable stores the status as True or False.

Example: Generating a String with Specific Type and Length

In this example, we explain how to generate a string based on the specified type and length.

• Action: String Generation

• Input Value: char;4

  • The first argument (char) specifies the type of the string to generate an alphabetic string.

  • The second argument (4) specifies the length of the string to be generated.

• Output Value: {Generated String}

  • The generated string (e.g., axyX) is stored in this {Generated String} dynamic variable.

  • If a second output variable is provided, the action returns the status as True or False:

    • True: If the string generates successfully.

    • False: If the string generation fails due to blank input or configuration error.

• Logical Explanation: The String Generation action fetches the value from the Input Value column (char;4). This action generates a 4-character alphabetic string (e.g., axyX) and stores it in the {Generated String} variable.
