INSPECT and VALIDATE functions of GUI Automator
We are looking for any useful cases(situation) using INSPECT and VALIDATE functions of GUI Automator.
What kinds of situation is better for using INSPECT or VALIDATE ?
The Inspect tool will allow you to extract some data from a GUI element (image, table, tree, html, etc.) and then you can use it in your test. For example: converting an html table to a matrix that you can then further analyze).
The Validate tool will usually be used to define a criteria on a GUI element (the tool will have a only one result - True or False, but will not set a Pass or Fail status for the test). This tool can help you validate if an element exists or not, or if one of its properties has a certain value (for example: validate that a button has the correct text).
So basically whenever you need to get information from the GUI and continue working on that value- you'll use the Inspect tool. If you just need to check if something exist or not on the GUI before you continue to a next step or if it has the expected values in it - you will use the Validate tool.
Hello,
Thank you for the detail explanation.
