Local Storage - Instructions

Local storage is often used to store more data than a cookie can store. You can see the data using the Developer tools in the Application Storage section. Local Storage is not automatically deleted when the browser session is closed, so is often used for single page applications that do not interact with a server or database.

Functionality

This page creates two local storage items userLocalData and userLocalSessionId.

The data can be deleted or re-created using the on page buttons.

Testing

Use the Developer tools and check the Application Storage section to check the creation and values of the data.

You should be able to amend and delete the data from the application storage.

Check that the data is not automatically removed when the browser is closed.

Automating

Your automation tool may have features to let you create and amend local storage.

Use those features on this page to work with userLocalData and userLocalSessionId.

Create some automated coverage to check that the data is not* deleted when the browser is closed.

If your tool does not have features to work with local storage then you may be able to use the JavaScript execution features of your tool to interact with local Storage.
