PDF Validation with UI

Step 1: Click on Add Test Case and create a new test case.

 

 

Step 2: Add the steps to the test case to navigate to the screen where elements are visible, which we need to validate in the PDF document.

 

 

Step 3: Declare the empty variables in the test case writer to save values that are extracted from the PDF using a custom script.

 

 

Step 4: Add a custom script to access the data from the PDF document.

 

 

  • In the custom script you can access the data from the PDF, which is further assigned to the variables declared by the user in the previous step.
  • The following is an example script to draw out value from the PDF.
try {
            URL url = new URL("https://devtestos.testgrid.io/assets/pdf/ToolsQA.pdf");
            System.out.println("PDFURL2 == :-");
            InputStream is = url.openStream();
            BufferedInputStream fileToParse = new BufferedInputStream(is);
            PDDocument document = null;
            String output = null;
            try {
                document = PDDocument.load(fileToParse);
                output = new org.apache.pdfbox.text.PDFTextStripper().getText(document);

                String lines[] = output.split("\\r?\\n");
         for (int i = 0; i < lines.length; i++) {

                    var_ISBNFromPDF =  lines[15];
                    var_TitleFromPDF =  lines[16];
                    var_SubTitleFromPDF =  lines[17];
                    var_AuthorFromPDF =  lines[18];
                    var_TotalPagesFromPDF =  lines[20];

                             System.out.println("line ====== :"+i +"Value of lines" + lines[i]);
                    
                }

           } finally {
                if (document != null) {
                    document.close();
                }
                fileToParse.close();
                is.close();
            }
        }catch (Exception e){

            e.printStackTrace();
        }
  • Once the custom script is executed, the next step is to take the UI element values and save them in the variables declared by them.

 

Step 5: Declare the variables in the test case writer in which values are retrieved from the UI elements.

 

 

Step 6 : Add steps to check if the values retrieved from the UI are the same as the values obtained from the PDF.

 

 

Step 7: Click on ‘Save’ to save the testcase.
Step 8: Once the testcase is ready, select the testcase and click on ‘Run’.

 

 

Step 9: Enter the URL of the website you want to test and tap ‘Next.’

 

 

Step 10: Select the browser and tap ‘Run Test’.

 

 

 

  • As the test case starts to run, you can see the logs of the test case execution.

 

 

  • You can also see the values printed in logs, which are taken from a PDF using a custom script.

 

 

 

 

  • If the test run is successfully executed, the user can see the messages “Completed” and “Test success” in the detailed log.

 

 

Happy Testing!!
