ATF test to validate reference qualifier

davidandrik · ‎03-04-2025

Hello there!

I am working on the automation of some manual test cases for Service Portal catalog items.

In some cases, the requirement is to check if only valid options are available as choices for reference/list type variables.

My first thought was try and set the variable to an invalid value, and then validate the variable value, but it seems like the reference qualifier is ignored.

I have also tried to get the choices to show on the page with the Click Component step, so I can check for one valid and one invalid option with Assert Text on Page step, but it seems like I cannot click the entry field for the variables.

Do you have any tips for how this could be automated?

Hi @davidandrik

I think it is not possible in ATF to validate the reference qualifier.

Hi @davidandrik

You could do validation something like this:
