Determining that a Related List is visibile using the ATF

[Darrion Burges1]

Hello Developers, 

I am currently trying to use Test Driven Development (TDD) for all my creations, and one area that i'm having trouble verifying is the existence of a related list on a specific form (bonus points for a certain view). 

Specifically, I am adding the Enhancement Related List to the CIM Task Form. 

- I'm able to add the related list fine, but i'm having trouble automatically testing that the related list is visible to my test users. 

- In addition, I took a few Related Lists OFF this form, and want to ensure they didn't sneak into the update set so I'd also like to verify that certain related lists AREN'T on the form. 

Is this something that is possible in the ATF? or would I have to use the javascript Tester for this? 

Thank you for your time and expertise. 

Best Regards, 

Darrion B

testing Related list using ATF has been introduced in Orlando Release.

If you are on NewYork then the only option you have for now is to use the 'Run Server Side Script' test step and use Gliderecord to query, delete, amend and create records. 

I believe you cannot check visibility but only records availability
