Auto generating HTMLs for Radio buttons in different Pega rules (Section and List view)
Hi -
Our project team is using Pega 7.4 platform and we are trying to do a automation testing tool for our application. The tool will be designed in such a way that to identify either ID or NAME elements of the HTML tags that creates from controls in Pega sections.
Example:- Radio button. The tool will try to identify the radio button used in application by using either of ID or NAME tag (from auto generated HTML) that is used in the entire application. So all of the radio buttons used should be identified either of ID or NAME not BOTH.
But we could see the radio button that is used in the Pega sections and List View are identified by ID tag and NAME tag respectively.
We jsut need the below information to make the Automation tool in global way to find the controls by either ID or NAME HTML tags.
1. How these Pega out of box concepts/controls used in the sections are working/generating the HTML tags(ID and NAME)?
2. Is there any other way we can get a global/common element to identify the controls used from HTML tags?

Hi ,
I am attaching one screen shot for sample.
There you can find the data-test-d attribute , and the id for checkbox which can be used.
Also in pega the name attribute which is assigned as per the page name in which the current element is present .
In the design time you can generate a test id for these controls which also can be used for the testing.
Please see all these in a single screenshot.

Thanks for your response @sahuv1.
I was able to see the name tag is generated based on the element that is present in the current Page and the id tag is based on the element name. - for check box
For radio buttons in section rule - shows the same pattern of check box for id and name tags.
but the same radio button in list view rule - it is vice versa of the id tag and name tag. Not sure how it is getting generated differently for list view radio buttons than section rule radio buttons.
do you have any idea on this?

Liste views are deprecated from Pega 7.1.9 .
SO let me know which version of Pega you are currently working with. Also tell if there is such OOTB listview (which is having radio button or radio buttons can be quickly tested.)
