Verify Element Property Assertion

Use the Verify Element Property step to check a specific HTML attribute of an element. This ensures that the element has the correct value during test execution. Typical examples include confirming the href of a link, the src of an image, or the placeholder of an input field.

When to Use

Add this step when you need to confirm that an element has the right property value. Common use cases:

• Verify a link’s href points to the correct URL.
• Check that an image uses the right src.
• Confirm that an input field shows the expected placeholder.
• Validate data-* attributes for correct values.

   • Custom data-* attributes

   INFO

   The attributes shown depend on the element type.

Best Practices

• Verify critical attributes, such as link URLs, image sources, or dataset-driven flags.
• Pair with Verify Text on Page to validate both structure and visible content.
• For URLs:
  • Use exact matches for fixed values.
  • Use regex when URLs contain dynamic elements (like user IDs or session tokens).
