“verifySelectOptions”, “verifySelectedLabel” and “verifySelectedIndex” commands works with drop down list box or multi select list box. Let me explain all of three first and then will see them with example.
Selenium IDE “verifySelectOptions” Command
“verifySelectOptions” command used for verification of list box option values. It will show error message if
defined values not available in list box. You can also use it for verification of option values. If not found match then selenium will return error message in log.
Using “verifySelectedLabel” Command in Selenium
As name suggect, “verifySelectedLabel” command will verify the name of selected label. If not found then selenium will return error message in log.
Selenium “verifySelectedIndex” Command
Every label contains index value in drop down and you can verify correct indexed label selection using “verifySelectedIndex” command. Let we see all three commands with example.

In above example, all three commands inserted 2 times. one with incorrect value and one with correct value.
- 1st “verifySelectOptions” command will pass because Actual value ‘USA,Russia,Japan,Mexico,India,Germany,Italy,Spain,Malaysia,Greece’ will match with targeted value ‘USA,Russia,Japan,Mexico,India,Germany,Italy,Spain,Malaysia,Greece’.
- 2nd “verifySelectOptions” command will Fail.
- 1st “verifySelectedLabel” will be fail because current selected label ‘Russia’ will not match with ‘India’.
- 2nd “verifySelectedLabel” will be pass.
- 1st “verifySelectedIndex” command will pass
- 2nd “verifySelectedIndex” command will be fail because label ‘Russia’ has index = 1.
