Validations define the result that must be true for a test to pass.

Definition

A simple validation is a quick text or URL check that does not require you to build a selector-based rule.

What it is for

It covers the most common success checks with the fewest settings.

How it works

  • Page shows this text passes when the text is visible anywhere on the page.
  • Page address contains passes when the current URL includes the value you entered.
  • An optional delay gives the page time to settle before the check runs.
  • Picking an element in Simple mode adds selector-based checks for its text, class, ID, value, or checked state.

Example

Check that the page text includes “Welcome back” after login.

Common use cases

  • Confirm a success message.
  • Check a route change.
  • Verify a heading.
  • Add a fast smoke-test assertion.

Where to find it

Choose Simple while adding a validation in the extension or test editor.

Limitations, requirements, and permissions

  • URL checks support http and https URLs only.
  • Page-wide text checks can match unintended duplicate text elsewhere; switch to an advanced validation to target one element.
  • At least one text, URL, or picked-element check is required before adding.
