Best Practices

1. Meaningful Variable Names
   • Use UPPERCASE for extracted or random variables
   • Use UNIQUE names for all variables
   • Choose descriptive names that indicate the data’s purpose
   • Example: USER_EMAIL, ORDER_TOTAL, PRODUCT_ID
2. Extraction Timing
   • Extract data as soon as it becomes available
   • Verify the extracted data before using it
   • Consider adding waits before extraction if data is dynamic
3. Error Handling
   • Add verfication after extraction
   

​

Troubleshooting

1. Data Not Found
   • Ensure the element is visible before extraction
   • Check if dynamic content has loaded
   • Verify selector accuracy
2. Invalid Data Format
   • Add verification steps after extraction
   • Use JavaScript for data cleaning if needed
   • adding wait steps for dynamic content
3. Variable Scope
   • Variables are available throughout the test
   • Use unique names to avoid conflicts
   • Consider prefixing variables for clarity
