   • To verify regular expressions associated with references, select the check box next to each reference to verify, and then click...
     Verify Checked

     The verification procedure completes this procedure:

     1. Checks that the regular expression finds the correct content. Regular expressions can stop working if you modify a test.
     2. Checks that there are no references with duplicate names. Troubleshooting data correlation problems is easier if references have unique names.
     3. Checks that there are no overlapping correlations.

   • Find more locations in the test that have the same value as the selected reference

     Select a reference, and then click Find and Substitute.

     

     

     These locations can be reviewed and substituted interactively as needed.

        Captured group

        

        The regular expression assistant displays the response content matched by the regular expression and the groups that are captured by the regular expression. If no groups are displayed, edit the regular expression accordingly.
