PDF File Verification in OpenSTA

To begin with, OpenSTA emulates browser traffic, it does not run a real browser. The only evidence you will have that the server has produced the PDF file is that a link to it, a url, will be returned as the result of a get or post. Next, when you click on that link, opensta records the browser fetching the file.

So, when playing back a script, you have to first be sure the file name of the pdf doesn't change... if it does, you need to correlate it. Next you find the GET statement that retrieves the PDF file. Consider either checking the status returned to be sure its 200 or perhaps loading the response (load response_info body on ) and verifying the first few bytes to see if it contains the right text (something like %PDF should appear in the text).

Text Verification script in OpenSTA

Consider that we need to check whether the particular page gets loaded while executing the application under test by OpenSTA..

For the above scenario let us derive a script,

Place the following code below the url where we would like to verify the text,

SET VER_STRING = "Your Search Text goes here"

LOAD RESPONSE_INFO BODY ON 2 INTO VER_BODY

Log VER_BODY

!HTML response body content will be stored in the above variable.

SET VER_LOCATION = ~LOCATE (VER_STRING,VER_BODY), CASE_BLIND
!Location of the string you searched will be stored in the above variable.
SET L2 = ~EXTRACT(VER_LOCATION, 62, VER_BODY)

Log L2

!Text searched for verification will be stored in the above variable.

IF (VER_LOCATION >= 0) THEN

LOG "Verification SUCCES - Page contained the string '", VER_STRING , "'"

ELSE

LOG "Verification FAILED - Page did not contain the string '", VER_STRING , "'"

ENDIF

Note:

2 refers to Connection Id and

62 refers to the length of yor search string.
