Example 1: Verifying the Selected Value in a Dropdown or List

In this example, we are explaining how to verify whether the currently selected value in a specified dropdown or list matches the expected value on the application.

  • Action: verifySelectedValue

  • Input Value: select;;0;Last Month

    • The first argument (select) specifies the object type to be identified.

    • The second argument is left blank to skip an optional value.

    • The third argument (0) specifies the index of the dropdown or list when multiple matching elements are present.

    • The fourth argument (Last Month) specifies the expected selected value that needs to be verified.

  • Output Value: {Status}

    • The result of the selected value verification operation is stored in the {Status} dynamic variable.

      • True: If the currently selected value matches the expected value.

      • False: If the currently selected value does not match the expected value.

  • Logical Explanation: The verifySelectedValue action reads the identification details and expected value from the Input Value column (select;;0;Last Month). The action locates the matching dropdown or list based on the specified object type and index and verifies whether the currently selected option matches the expected value. The execution result of the verification operation (True) is stored in the {Status} variable.

Example 2: Verifying the Selected Value in a Dropdown or List using Optional Parameters

In this example, we are explaining how to verify whether the currently selected value in a specified dropdown or list matches the expected value on the application using optional parameters.

  • Action: verifySelectedValue

  • Input Value: select;Fund;0;Last Month

    • The first argument (select) specifies the object type to be identified.

    • The second argument (Fund) specifies the visible text of the dropdown or list object.

    • The third argument (0) specifies the index of the dropdown or list when multiple matching elements are present.

    • The fourth argument (Last Month) specifies the expected selected value that needs to be verified.

  • Output Value: {Status}

    • The result of the selected value verification operation is stored in the {Status} dynamic variable.

    • True: If the currently selected value matches the expected value.

    • False: If the currently selected value does not match the expected value.

  • Logical Explanation: The verifySelectedValue action reads the identification details and expected selected value from the Input Value column (select;Fund;0;Last Month). The action locates the matching dropdown or list based on the specified object type, visible text, and index and verifies whether the currently selected option matches the expected value. The execution result of the verification operation (True) is stored in the {Status} variable.
