#38: Verify Available Time Slots

Extract the texts from multiple same-styled button texts.

In the last exercise, we completed one automated test script for the core business scenario. Typically, after that, we will develop automated tests for alternative business workflows or checks around that. Today’s exercise is an example.

Learning Objectives

• Extract the text from multiple same-styled button texts.

• Review
  - find_elements
  - List: assertion
  - List: collect to extract another list from the original List

Test Design

1. Navigate to the business booking page, which we have done many times in previous exercises.

2. Click tomorrow’s date

3. Extract the available time slots, e.g. 9:00, 10:00, …, etc, and do an assertion.
