Specify the expected page title

Overview

Page title verification points verify that the primary request for a page returns the expected page title. If the returned title is unexpected, the test log reports a failed verdict event. The comparison...

• is case-sensitive
• ignores multiple white-space characters (spaces, tabs, and carriage returns)

Specify the expected page title

1. In the Test Navigator, browse to the test and double-click it.

2. Right-click the test name or a page, and select...
   Enable Page Title VPs

   

   Your choice determines whether the verification point is added to all pages in the test or to one page.

3. Click the page title to display the editing fields in the Test Element Details area.

   

4. Ensure that the field...
   Expected page title

   ...shows the string that you expect to be included in the response. Although you can change the string, the value listed is what was returned between the <title></title> tags during recording.

What to do next

You can also change the preferences so that Page Title verification points are set automatically. To do this:

1. Set the HTML page title:

   Click...

   Window | Preferences | Test | Test Generation | HTTP Test Generation | Verification Points | HTML Page Title

   This changes subsequent tests that you record.

2. Optionally, regenerate existing tests with the changed preference
