Configuring list assertions
You can create list assertions for page lists on a rule to determine if either the expected result is anywhere in the list of results returned by the rule. Even if the order of results changes, the test will continue to work.
For example, you can verify if a product is present in a product list in a data page, regardless of where the product appears in the list results. You can also verify if there is at least one employee with the name John in the results of the Employee list data page.
You can also configure assertions for page lists to apply assertions to all the results that are returned by a rule so that you do not have to manually create assertions for each result in the list.
For example, you can verify that a department name is Sales and that a department ID starts with SL for each department in the list of results in the Sales department data page. You can also verify if a discount of 10% is applied to each customer in the list of results of the VIP customers data page.
You can configure list assertions for page lists on a rule to apply assertions to all the results that are returned by the rule. Configure an ordered list assertion so that you do not have to manually create assertions for each result in the list.
- On the bottom of the Definition tab, click Add expected result.
- From the Assertion type list, select List.
- Add properties to the assertion.
- Click Add properties.
- If you are adding properties for flows, case types, decision trees, decision
tables, or data pages:
- In the of object field, enter the path of the object with which the properties are compared during the assertion.
- Proceed to step d.
- If you are adding properties for data transforms or activities, complete the
following tasks:
- From the Thread list in the Actual results section, select the thread that contains the page whose properties or pages you want to add.
- In the Page field, enter the page whose properties or pages you want to add.
- In the of object field, enter the path of the object with which the properties are compared during the assertion.
- Proceed to step d.
- Select the properties or pages that you want to add. You can search for a property
or its value by entering text in the search bar and pressing
Enter.
If you select a page, all embedded pages and properties from the page are added. Added properties are displayed in the right pane.
When you add multiple properties, the assertion passes if the expected output and results match for all properties.
- Optional: In the Filter field, enter a property and value on which to filter results or open the Expression Builder by clicking the Gear icon to provide an expression that is used to filter results. The list assertion applies only to the page list entries that are specified for this filter value.
- From the Comparator list, select the comparator that you want to
use to compare the property with a specified value.
Select the
is incomparator to compare a text, integer, or decimal property to multiple values. The assertion passes if the property matches any of the values that you specify. - In the Value field, either enter a value with which to compare
the property or open the Expression Builder by clicking the Gear
icon to enter an expression that is used to provide the value.
