I have a task of comparing 2 strings, one is the text which I am entering in the search bar, and the string which has to be compared with it is the result which I obtain. Is there any way to do it using keyword search? If not, is there a script code available for the task?
If you do an Internet search for "testcomplete string compare", you will get results pointing to the exact method required, in the TestComplete Documentation
I have tried them, but can I compare a search result to the user input?
What have you tried? And why can't you compare?
As an example, in your data driven testing, you should be using a variable to store the value of username i.e. expectedUsername.
If you get the text from your UI control (Login Name), and store that into a variable, i.e. actualUsername.
You can then do something like this,
function Test()
{
var expectedUsername = 'testgdpr2'; // Input
var actualUsername = 'testgdpr2'; // UI control
aqObject.CompareProperty(expectedUsername, cmpEqual, actualUsername, true);
if (aqString.Compare(expectedUsername, actualUsername, true)) {
Log.Error("Username is different");
}
}Using either CompareProperty or Compare methods. You should be able to do the same with keyword testing. Ensure you get the correct property value from your UI control, as it might be wText, contentText etc.
Yes, but this works only for the first iteration, what about the next usernames?
How should I store the result in the expectedUsername for the second time?
I suggest you see Data-Driven Testing, to understand the concepts and to implement it in your existing scripts.
The code example that I have provided, can be adapted to use data-driven testing.
