Storing parts of a text/string on Chrome

One of the key Qualibrate features is the ability to store information from the applications under test. Sometimes, users are interested in storing portions of large texts generated by the application, and Qualibrate gives users the ability to search parts of the text that they would like to store.

Example

Procedure

To store the number, we can use an advanced JavaScript code snippet to save only the portion needed from the full text. To do that, follow this procedure.

1. Open the Recorder widget

2. When the text you want to store appears, click the Store button in the Recording widget

3. Select the control where the text appears

4. After the “Store” step is added:

• Expand the recording control

• Click the “Configuration” button   

• Go to the Advanced configuration tab

1. In the code editor, paste the following code:

return obj.innerText.split(' ')[1]

1. Save the configuration

1. Click “Save” in the recording widget
