Assert on Validation feedback

Definition

An Assert on Validation feedback is used to evaluate feedback messages shown as a result of "Validation feedback" actions in Microflows that are executed during a Test Run. It is possible to evaluate the message text and/or the member that the message is shown on.

Asserts on Validation feedback are defined on the Test Case level. Test Cases can have zero, one or multiple Asserts on validation feedback.

Asserts on Validation feedback can be added to Data Variation.

Properties

Name	Description
Assert type	The type of Validation feedback assert to be created. - Count: evaluates only the number of validation feedback messages upon execution. - Attribute-member: evaluates the message text of validation feedback shown on a certain attribute member. - Association-member: evaluates the message text of validation feedback shown on a certain association. - All-members: evaluates the message text of validation feedback regardless of the member or association.
Entity	The entity that the Validation feedback is shown on. Only for Attribute-member and Association-member asserts.
Attribute	The attribute member that the Validation feedback is shown on. Only for Attribute-member asserts.
Association	The association that the Validation feedback is shown on. Only for Assocation-member asserts.
Quantifier	Determines whether to match the given the message text for all Validation feedback messages, or that there should be at least one Validation feedback message that matches.
Comparison operator	The type of evaluation to perform. - The 'Equals' / 'Not equals' type means that the message text or message count should exactly match (or not match, respectively) a single given value. - The 'Contains' / 'Not contains' type means that the message text should contain (or not contain, respectively) the given value. - The 'Greater than' / 'Greater than or equal to' means that the message count should be higher than (or include, respectively) the given value. - The 'Less than' / 'Less than or equal to' means that the message count should be lower than (or include, respectively) the given value.
Comparison string	The (part of the) validation feedback message text to evaluate. Only for Attribute-member, All-members and Association-member asserts.
Comparison number	The number of validation feedback messages to evaluate. Only for Count asserts.
