How to validate the input fields in selenium framework?.

[kan...@gmail.com]

I've got a chance to work in automation project. While automation I got stuck in a place where I need to validate my test data before entering it into the fields. I've gone through all the sites but I didn't get the answer which I expected. 

For example: 

Let's say that there is a text field and it accepts upto 100 characters, it's mandatory, etc. And I'm getting input data from excel file. 

My doubt is: 

How to validate the input data in a framework?. Should we have any common methods to validate textbox, radio button, dropdown etc?..

You can use the attribute "maxlength" of input element or similar kind of attribute associated to the element.

Here is the example.

 public void ValidateData()

        {

            WebElement inputEle = Driver.FindElement(By.Id("abc"));

            string val = inputEle.GetAttribute("maxlength");

            int maxLength = Int32.Parse(val);

            //Input Text from excel

            string inputStr = "example test data from excel";

            int textFromExcelLength = inputStr.Length;

            if(textFromExcelLength <= maxLength)

            {

                // perform action

            }

            else

            {

                // throw error

            }

        }

You can try the above and validate the data for input field

What kind of input validation are you looking for? If you need general validation..check the property of the textbox by not providing the input..

Test data that you read from excel file will be assigned to a string, get the length of string and validate the value against the acceptable limit before entering or input in to your text field.
