QData

A QData contains values on basis of key and value pairs, Each pair of key and value is called as an entry.

Rules :

1. Key name should be UNIQUE, If the same key name was inserted multiple times. It would be overridden.

Example : QData employeeInfo = extractGroup("firstEmployee");

Sample :

{

"firstName" : "John",

"middleName" : "deSouza",

"lastName" : "D",

"SSN" : "789",

"dob" : "08/08/2000",

"Eligibility" : true

}

Ways to get data from QData :

How to get the value as String ?

String empFirstName = employeeInfo.getValueAsString("firstName");

How to get the value as Integer?

Integer empSSN = employeeInfo.getValueAsInteger("SSN");

How to get the value as Boolean?

Boolean empEligibility = employeeInfo.getValueAsBoolean("Eligibility");

List of QData Commands :

Method Name	Arguments	Return Type	Description
getValue	Key Name	Object	When the user wants the value to be returned in OBJECT (Data Type) and convert to the required Data type like Qarray,QStringArray etc. This can be used
isEmpty	NO ARGS	Boolean	This checks whether the initialized Qdata is empty / not
size	NO ARGS	Integer	This returns the count of the keys in initialized Qdata
getKey	NO ARGS
toMap	NO ARGS	Map<String,Object>	This converts the Qdata object to JAVA Map class
containsValue	Value	Boolean	This checks the whole Qdata for the given value, return true if the value matches to any of the key
setValue	key and value	VOID	This inserts the given key and value to the Qdata
getValueAsString	Key Name	String	This provides the values in the String
getValueAsQData	Key Name	Qdata	This returns the sub object data in Qdata format, by the key name provided
getValueAsQStringArray	Key Name	QStringArray	Returns Key Value as QStringArray if the key value is a String, or multiple values separated with comma it will be converted to QStringArray.
getValueAsQIntegerArray	Key Name	QIntegerArray	Returns Key Value as QIntegerArray if the key value is a String, or multiple values separated with comma it will be converted to QIntegerArray.
toJsonArray	key and value	String	This converts the Qdata into complete JSON object and the results would be as below sample. givenKeyName : givenValueName : [all the Qdata converted to JSON]
getKeyNames	NO ARGS	QStringArray	This lists out all the key names.
doAssert
bindToContext	tfStepContext	Context Values will be set	This save each and every pair to context and the user can utilize them
bindToTestRun	tfStepContext	Run Values will be set	This save each and every pair to RUN VALUES and the user can utilize them
toJson	NO ARGS	String	This converts the compelete Qdata into JSON, this will be utilized in API
dump	NO ARGS	String	This converts the complete Qdata into string Note : This can be utilized to print the whole Qdata for validating in development activities
hasDataFor
getValueAsDouble	Key Name	Double	This provides the values in the Double
_getValue
getValueAsBoolean	Key Name	Boolean	This provides the values in the Boolean
getValueAsInteger	Key Name	Integer	This provides the values in the Integer
