# Validate the text validation and attributes values. 

**Validate the text validation and**

**attributes values. **

**Validate the static text, dynamic text and pattern matching dynamic content **

***Test Case Flow: ***

1. Launch Chrome via WebDriver.
2. Navigate to your validation page
3. Validate the static text. 
4. Validate the dynamic text using exact match
5. Wait until the status text changes to "Completed"
6. Validate the dynamic text using pattern matching
7. Validate the dynamic text for non-empty / changed text
8. Close the browser.

***Program:***

```javascript

                import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;

import java.time.Duration;

public class TextValidationExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

        // 1. Point to your ChromeDriver executable

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");

        // 2. Launch Chrome

        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

        WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10));

        try {

            // 3. Navigate to your validation page

            driver.get("https://example.com/validation");

            // === STATIC TEXT VALIDATION ===

            WebElement header = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("h1.page-title"));

            String actualHeader = header.getText().trim();

            System.out.println("Header text: " + actualHeader);

            if (!actualHeader.equals("Welcome to Our Store")) {

                throw new AssertionError("Static text validation failed: expected 'Welcome to Our Store'");

            }

            // === DYNAMIC TEXT VALIDATION: exact match ===

            // 4. Trigger the dynamic update

            driver.findElement(By.id("startProcess")).click();

            // 5. Wait until the status text changes to "Completed"

            wait.until(ExpectedConditions.textToBe(By.id("orderStatus"), "Completed"));

            String status = driver.findElement(By.id("orderStatus")).getText();

            System.out.println("Order status: " + status);

            // === DYNAMIC TEXT VALIDATION: pattern matching ===

            WebElement confirmationMsg = driver.findElement(By.id("confirmationMsg"));

            String confirmation = confirmationMsg.getText();

            System.out.println("Confirmation message: " + confirmation);

            if (!confirmation.matches("^Order #\d{5,10} placed$")) {

                throw new AssertionError("Pattern validation failed: " + confirmation);

            }

            // === DYNAMIC TEXT VALIDATION: non-empty / changed text ===

            WebElement counter = driver.findElement(By.id("itemCount"));

            String beforeCount = counter.getText();

            driver.findElement(By.id("updateCounter")).click();

            wait.until(drv -> !counter.getText().equals(beforeCount));

            String afterCount = counter.getText();

            System.out.println("Counter changed from " + beforeCount + " to " + afterCount);

            if (afterCount.isEmpty() || afterCount.equals(beforeCount)) {

                throw new AssertionError("Counter did not update correctly");

            }

        } finally {

            // 6. Close the browser

            driver.quit();

        }

    }

}
```

**Validate the attribute values **

***Test Case Flow: ***

1. Launch Chrome via WebDriver.
2. Navigate to your validation page
3. Locate the element using an XPath locator
4. Check basic state of webelement
5. Verify the expected attribute values
6. Close the browser.

***Program:***

```javascript

                import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class GetAttributeExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // 1. Point to your ChromeDriver executable

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");

        // 2. Launch Chrome

        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

        try {

            // 3. Navigate to the page containing the element

            driver.get("https://example.com/profile");

            // 4. Locate the element using an XPath locator

            //    e.g., an input field with a placeholder attribute

            WebElement searchInput = driver.findElement(

                By.xpath("//input[@id='searchBox']"));

            // 5. Check basic state

            System.out.println("Displayed? " + searchInput.isDisplayed());

            System.out.println("Enabled?   " + searchInput.isEnabled());

            // 6. Get attribute values

            String typeAttr       = searchInput.getAttribute("type");

            String placeholderAttr= searchInput.getAttribute("placeholder");

            String maxLengthAttr  = searchInput.getAttribute("maxlength");

            System.out.println("type       = " + typeAttr);

            System.out.println("placeholder= " + placeholderAttr);

            System.out.println("maxlength  = " + maxLengthAttr);

            // 7. Example: verify an expected attribute

            String expectedPlaceholder = "Search...";

            if (placeholderAttr != null && placeholderAttr.equals(expectedPlaceholder)) {

                System.out.println("Placeholder matches expected value.");

            } else {

                System.out.println("Placeholder does not match. Expected: ""

                    + expectedPlaceholder + """);

            }

        } finally {

            // 8. Close the browser (end the session)

            driver.quit();

        }

    }

}
