How to validate the values in a dropdown using pega robotics studio
Team,
I have a web application with many UI controls like radio buttons, checkboxes, drop downs etc. I wanted to know if there is a way to validate the values in a drop down list are accurate or not. I have a data source of excel with expected values in the drop down, how can I validate if the same list of values are populated in the drop down on the User Interface?
I have created a web adapter for the dropdown, but need some direction in validating it.
Please help.
Thanks,
Abhi

Hi ABHI,
Looks like the drop down each value is div tag.
Interrogate any one of the item (div tag) and set UseKeys = true, the match rules for this control need to be in such a way that all the items of the drop down need to be matched.
Later you can use getClones method which will get all items, now iterate over the list with Excel one,if matched you can break the loop.

Thanks for the response Srinivas. I have attached the automation piece screenshot here along with the result.
I am actually looking for the drop down values listed in each row instead of all in one line. Is that possible?
Also, how i can get the expected drop down data from excel and compare here in the automation? Do I need to use a lookup list here?
Please suggest.
Thanks,

Abhi,
As the control is matching all the values of drop down, so inner text is not a good idea here try with "This" Property.
You can use excel component to read the excel data in below ways.
1.Dump the excel data to Lookup.
2.Use GetCellValue method.
Thanks,
