Test using random email address

This is the other post I saw.

Other post

Anyone?

Hello Wade,

You can create a list with preset emails and use our data driven testing feature.

I tried that and it works, but unfortunately, each email address can only be used once.

Hello Wade,

Since this is not working for you then you need to use your own coded solution with generating a random string and use it as your email address.

Thanks, I'm not a programmer. I was looking for some help with that.

Hello Wade,

Regarding the coded solution unfortunately we do not have such a samples to provide, however you can always take a look over the Internet and find a suitable solution. A good starting point can be this article:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/730268/unique-random-string-generation

The other solution with using the databinding is also applicable if you create a list long enough for your needs.

Thank you for your understanding.

I was able to figure it out and I posted my solution in the forum

Hello Wade,

I am glad to hear you have found a solution and thank you for sharing it in the public forum. This could be of a great help of other customers.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hello Wade.   Can you post your link to the forum post?   I am looking for a better solution.  Thanks!

Here are a couple of functions for generating random character and number strings that take the desired length of string. For the string one, you can add your own combination of upper/lower letters, numbers, etc to the charSet string.

Then in your coded step do something like this

Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.TypeText(randomString(7) + "@" + randomString(4) + ".com", 50, 100, true)

or 

Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.TypeText(randomString(7) + "@emailprovider.com", 50, 100, true)

 

public string randomString(int l)
        {
            //Define the length of the text
            int length = l;
            //Define the included characters   
            string charSet = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";

            
            Random random = new System.Random();
            string randomText = new String(Enumerable.Repeat(charSet, length).Select(set => set[random.Next(set.Length)]).ToArray());
            return randomText;
            
        }
        
        public string randomNumber(int l)
        {
            System.Text.StringBuilder num = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
            Random random = new System.Random();
            for (int i=0; i<l-1; i++)
            {
                //pick digit [0-9]
                int digit = random.Next(9);
                num.Append(digit);
            }
            return num.ToString();
        }
