9394) SET_LIST: Allows reading all the values of data sets associated with a given data template, an SQL command, or an XLS/CSV file/URL. This command creates an array of these values and loop command will allow you to loop through all of them. Once an array is defined using this command, @array_name.rowsCount and @array_name.columnsCount will provide the row count and column count respectively.

A list of variables will appear for you to select from.

...

99100) SWITCH_FRAME: Explicitly switches to a frame/iframe identified by id, name, xpath, or "Main" window (first window launched by the test case). Please note that Locator-based commands will switch frame to the Locator-defined frame. Use this command to switch frame for commands like EXECUTE_JAVASCRIPT. This command has been added for scripts using Snippets and/or JavaScript. This command supports Switch Duration parameter to override the default behavior of locator-based elements. Without using this parameter, the locator-based commands will switch frame to the frame defined by the locator. If the whole test case option is used for this new parameter, the locator-based commands will not switch to the frame defined by the locator but instead will continue using the frame from this command throughout the rest of the test case or until another Switch_frame command is issued with the Default option.

100101) SWITCH_WINDOW: Explicitly switches to another window identified by a unique popup text, handle index (0,1,2) or main window. Please note that Locator-based commands will switch window to the Locator-defined window. Use this command to switch window for commands like EXECUTE_JAVASCRIPT or with popups that are automatically displayed. Switch Duration parameter is used to override the default behavior of locator-based elements. Without using this parameter, the locator-based commands will switch window to the windows defined by the locator. If the whole test case option is used for this new parameter, the locator-based commands will not switch to the window defined by the locator but instead will continue using the window from this command throughout the rest of the test case or until another Switch_Window command is issued with the Default option. To guarantee switching to a specific window, after you navigate to that window, create a step with Switch_Window command, select Handler Index and use the number to assign the window with this number (number must not be more than the number of open windows).

101102) VERIFY_ELEMENT: Verifies existence or non-existence of an element on the screen. "Check invisible" option checks for invisible or visible elements, "Check disabled" option checks for disabled or enabled elements, verification will be done "Attempts" number of times with "Interval" seconds in between each verification. As soon as the element to verify becomes available, the verification will be performed. Attempts and Interval options are used mainly if rendering of the element is asynchronous.

...

102103) VERIFY_FILE_DOWNLOAD: Checks to see whether a specific file is downloaded to a particular location and whether this file has a valid file type or not. This command can also be used to delete the ifle once verification is complete. You can use the "Time out before verification" option to control the command timeout before the verification starts. Verification options include Normal, ANT, REGEX, and WILDCARD. The directory can be injected in a data template and a data set. This Command allows using wildcards (i.e. *) in the Base Dir field.

103104) VERIFY_REST: Makes a call to a REST end-point for verification purposes. As part of this command, the returned JSON can be validated by selecting "Validate" and supplying a RAML file. The HTTP response code will be assigned to "Status variable name". Values to be verified whether XML or JSON can be added to the "Value" fields. The command allows checking of multiple value pairs in the REST response. If all but a few of the value pairs are successful, the return message points out the few value pairs that are failing the check. "Contains", "Count", "Equals" and "Not_Equals" are available for this command to support arrays. This command keeps the response status to be used in testing logic afterwards. This command supports JSON paths. Templates can be injected in this command into key value pairs. Also, the order of key-value pairs is preserved. Web service response can be read and copied after this command is executed. 

...

104105) VERIFY_SOAP: Makes a call to a SOAP web service for values that can be then verified. This command allows the checking of multiple value pairs in the REST response. If all but a few of the value pairs are successful, the return message points out the few value pairs that are failing the check. Templates can be injected in this command into expressions pairs. Web service response can be read/copied/downloaded after this command is executed.

105106) VERIFY_TEXT: Verifies existence or non-existence of a text identified by "Value" on the screen. If the text to verify is inside a frame "Target Frame" should be used. If the text to verify is inside another window/popup, a text to uniquely identify that window should be used in "Target Window". Verification will be done "Attempts" number of times with "Interval" seconds in between each verification. As soon as the text to verify becomes available, the verification will be performed. Attempts and Interval options are used mainly if rendering of the text is asynchronous. If used in local player and local player is paused in the middle of the retries, it does not complete the remainder of the tries. Existence type can be selected by Web Page, Dom or both Web Page and Dom. In case you are using variables, you can use show any available variables that you set in your test case by entering "@" in the Value field. A list of variables will appear for you to select from.

...

106107) VERIFY_TEXT_IN_ALERT: Verifies existence or non-existence of a text in an alert box. In case you are using variables, you can use show any available variables that you set in your test case by entering "@" in the Value field. A list of variables will appear for you to select from.

107108) VERIFY_TEXT_IN_PDF: Verifies existence or non-existence of a text identified by "Value" in a PDF document. If the text to verify is inside a frame "Target Frame" should be used. If the text to verify is inside another window/popup, a text to uniquely identify that window should be used in "Target Window". Verification will be done by "Attempts" number of times with "Interval" seconds in between each verification. As soon as the text to verify becomes available, the verification will be performed. Attempts and Interval options are used mainly if rendering of the text is asynchronous. The command allows "case sensitive" verification of a text where the default verification is case insensitive. You can also use a PDF file that directly downloads to your device instead of opening on your browser. To do so, simply add the path of the download file in a Goto_url step followed by the file name and extension. For example, "C:\Users\username\Downloads\file.pdf". The next step will verify the text in PDF which is opened. In case you are using variables, you can use show any available variables that you set in your test case by entering "@" in the Value field. A list of variables will appear for you to select from

...

108109) VERIFY_XML: Verifies that the XPath (In command options) exists or does not exist in the SOAP response. Verification will be done by "Attempts" number of times with "Interval" seconds in between each verification

109110) WAIT: Waits for a specified number of seconds.

110111) WRITE: has two options

• Writes/Echoes a message or a list to the screen and to the player logs. It can also print the content of a variable into the screen/logs. In case you are using variables, you can use show any available variables that you set in your test case by entering "@" in the Message field. A list of variables will appear for you to select from.
• Writes a message or a list to a CSV file and provides a URL that you can use to download the file or copy the URL for your convenience. You can also select From and To in order to determine specific rows to include in the file (Start to End / Index # to Index #). The header option can be checked in case the first row in the list you have is a header.
