Expect Tags
Tag: {*} (Wildcard)
The {*} Wildcard Tag is used as a placeholder to replace the
Expect text that should be ignored.
The {*} Wildcard Tag has a range of applications when testing
customer contact solutions that have highly interchangeable parts. Rather than
making Test Cases to cover each of these simple differences, the
{*} Wildcard Tag can be used instead.
Conditions and Restrictions
- The
{*}Wildcard Tag can be used multiple times. - Cannot be immediately followed by another {*} Wildcard Tag.
- The
{*}Wildcard Tag can not be used inside of a{Choice}Tag
Example
Matches(“H1”, “Welcome {*} to the app store”);
Tag: {Number}
The {Number} tag recognizes numbers.
Tag: {Choice}
The {Choice} Tag can be used when matching a message that has at
least two known alternatives.
The {Choice} Tag is inserted in the Test Case Expect field
representing multiple alternate phrases that can be matched.
Example
Matches(“H1”, “Welcome {Choice Mathew|Mark|Luke|John} to the app store”);Tag: {AlphaNum}
The {AlphaNum} tag is used to recognize alphabet letters and
numbers in English.
Conditions and Restrictions
- Can recognize 0-9 and A-Z in English
- If an optional variable is specified, the variable result cannot be used in a subsequent dynamic reply
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Length | Optional parameter but recommended for improved accuracy. The exact length is best, a range is second best, and no length at all will give least accuracy |
| <variable> | Optional parameter that takes the form of
$variablename. The variable will be populated with
the results of the {AlphaNum} recognition. You
can also specify a comparison to be made against the variable.
If the comparison fails, then the Step will fail with the
Detailed Step Result including "Expected 'variablename'
to be 'expectedValue' but was 'actualValue'"
|
Examples
- {AlphaNum Length=6 $postcode}
- {AlphaNum Length=4-6}
- {AlphaNum $id}
- {AlphaNum Length=6 $id == "K2G4A3"}
Tag: {URL}
The {URL} Tag is used to extract an URL from the Expect
message.
Example
{URL $custom_var_name Host=optional hostname Proto=optional
protocol}
Host can be one of Any, IP or DNS.
Proto can be one of Any, HTTP or HTTPS.
Reply Tags

This is a dynamic reply variable inserted into an Expect or Reply.
Tag: {Insert}

PIN. If the value is missing, uses the default value of 1234.
