Writing Assertions is as easy as asking a question

Relicx simplifies the process of writing assertions. For example, consider the checkout page of the SwagLabs e-commerce app. In this scenario, a user has added three items to their cart and needs to assert that the sum of the individual item prices equals the total item price.

Swaglabs Checkout Page

Using a scripting tool like Cypress, the user can write a few lines of code (as shown below) to define this assertion.

describe('Cart Total Verification', () => {
  it('should verify that the sum of item prices equals the item total', () => {
    cy.visit('https://www.saucedemo.com/v1/checkout-step-two.html');

    // Retrieve the prices of individual items
    let itemPrices = [];
    cy.get('#checkout_summary_container > div > div.cart_list > div:nth-child(3) > div.cart_item_label > div.inventory_item_price').each(($el) => {
      const priceText = $el.text().replace('$', '');
      const price = parseFloat(priceText);
      itemPrices.push(price);
    });

    // Calculate the sum of item prices
    let sumOfPrices = 0;
    cy.wrap(itemPrices).each((price) => {
      sumOfPrices += price;
    });

    // Retrieve the item total
    cy.get('#checkout_summary_container > div > div.summary_info > div.summary_subtotal_label').invoke('text').then((itemTotalText) => {
      const itemTotal = parseFloat(itemTotalText.replace('Item total: $', ''));

      // Assert the sum of prices equals the item total
      expect(sumOfPrices).to.eq(itemTotal);
    });
  });
});

In Relicx, this process is incredibly simple. You can just ask the Relicx Copilot to verify the question as follows:

• “Can you confirm that the sum of the prices of the items in the cart is equal to the item total?”

That’s it — no coding required. The Relicx Copilot automatically generates the code and verifies the total for you in just a few seconds. In the video below, you can see how the assertion is created and executed in Relicx.
