Description: This command is used to retrieve a value from any element on the browser screen and store it in a variable. The default setting allows it to capture a text (HTML tag - Text), but you can also capture other HTML Tags, CSS properties, numbers, strings or boolean values.
Usage Scenarios
HTML Tag with attributes
(Scenario 1) Suppose we want to retrieve the text value from the Birthday text box on our Reference app which is found on the Edit Profile page and assign it to a variable.
...
See the Test Library path:subject7_samples/subject7_advanced_suite/subject7_modify_profile_information
The following video demonstrates how the “Birthday” text box value is retrieved as part of execution of “subject7_modify_profile_information” test case in “subject7_samples” folder. Since the original value is empty, a random one has been entered to simulate this test.
