  • This action is applicable to both TA properties and native properties that are viewable in the Interface Viewer.
  • In the event that a TA property and native property have identical names, the TA property takes precedence. Therefore, if you want to explicitly check the native property, use the check native property action.
  • This action is applicable only to properties that are viewable in TestArchitect’s Interface Viewer.
  • The expected argument can accept regular expressions. Note that argument values that include regular expressions must be entirely enclosed in curly braces {}. As an example, {[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}} specifies the pattern for an acceptable email address. More simply, .* represents the general wildcard for regular expressions, so that {.*arch.*} matches starch, marching, testarchitect, etc.
  • This action supports the <ignore> modifier. If the string <ignore> is present as the value of any of the arguments, or any argument contains an expression that evaluates to <ignore>, the action is skipped during execution.
