Synopsis:

This guide explains how to verify the value of an element.

Applicable to:

Validating the attribute and values of elements within an application.

Prerequisite:

None.

How to:

1. Type or select 'verify element attribute' from the action menu.
2. Enter which Page File has the specific element defined.
3. Type which element is to be verified/validated.
4. From the drop-down list select which attribute needs to be tested.
5. Click save after the value has been entered.
6. Please be aware when if verifying that an element is empty but there is a space Janova reads the space a character and the element will not be verified as empty.
7. When validating tables in Edit mode all elements must be validated using the 'verify element attribute' step. Please see our section on verifying contents of a table here.
8. NOTE:  When verifying the value of an element be sure to verify the value that is coded into the application and NOT the value that is displayed. As the following example will illustrate this happens with dollar values that use the dollar sign ($).

   On the application the 'Writeoff Amount' is displayed as $65.00

   After inspecting the element, the value of the of the 'Writeoff Amount is only 65.00 without the dollar sign.

   Since the step is verifying the value of the element only the 65.00 needs to be entered and NOT the dollar sign.
