Variable assertions

This guide provides an overview of how to create a variable assertion. Some use cases for variable assertions include:

• Extracting an element property into a variable on one page, extracting another element property from another page, and asserting that the two variables equal each other
• Modifying a variable with math or JavaScript and asserting that it equals the expected value
• Asserting on the expected value coming from a DataTable
