Normalize Extra Spaces in Scenario Editor Values
Normalize Extra Spaces in Scenario Editor Values
Normalize spacing when application text contains inconsistent whitespace that would otherwise make validations fragile.
Recommended guidance
- Trim leading and trailing spaces before comparison.
- Collapse repeated spaces only when the business value does not require exact formatting.
- Keep the original captured value in output when troubleshooting.
- Avoid normalizing away meaningful spaces in codes, names, or formatted identifiers.
Validation workflow
- Capture the source text.
- Normalize the whitespace according to the validation need.
- Compare the normalized value to expected data.
- Record both original and normalized values when diagnosing failures.
