When an OTP is embedded within HTML tags in an email, extracting it using a regex pattern also captures the surrounding HTML symbols. To use the OTP in test execution, an addon is used to remove these extra characters and extract only the numeric value.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Fix grammar: use plural "characters".

The sentence uses the singular form "character" but the context requires the plural. Line 23 should read "…remove these extra characters and extract only…"

## **Steps to Remove the HTML tag symbols from the OTP**

1. In your test case, first, use the **Store test data1 in test data2** NLP to store the extracted OTP in a runtime variable.
![NLP 1](https://s3.amazonaws.com/static-docs.testsigma.com/new_images/projects/faq/otp_3.png)

- Click the **test data1** placeholder and replace it by selecting **Data Generator** from the **Test Data Types** dropdown. ![Data Generator](https://s3.amazonaws.com/static-docs.testsigma.com/new_images/projects/faq/otp_4.png)
- In the **Data Generator** overlay, configure the **Get Email OTP** function by selecting **Default** as the type, **MailBoxFunctions** as the function type, entering the regex pattern (for example, **>\d{6}<**), choosing the mailbox, setting the timeout, and clicking **Save**. ![Get email OTP](https://s3.amazonaws.com/static-docs.testsigma.com/new_images/projects/faq/otp_5.png)

🛠️ Refactor suggestion | 🟠 Major

Standardize terminology: "Add-on" vs "Addon" vs "Add-ons".

The document mixes terminology inconsistently. Line 2 (title) uses "Add-on" (hyphenated), but line 24 uses "Addon" (no hyphen), and line 26 uses both "Addons" and "Add-ons" in the same sentence. Standardize on one form throughout—preferably "Add-on" (hyphenated, singular) and "Add-ons" (hyphenated, plural) to match the title and maintain professional consistency.

## **Steps to Set Up the Database Connection**

1. In your test case, use the **Execute OracleDB Query on the Connection DB_Connection_URL and verify affected rows count is Row-Count** NLP to execute the query and fetch the required database details.

2. Click the **Query** placeholder and enter the SQL query to be executed on the Oracle database.

**Example query:**

SELECT * FROM employees WHERE employee_id = 103;

This query fetches all details of the employee whose ID is 103 from the employees table. Use this example as a reference and replace it with the required query based on your test scenario.

3. Click the **DB_Connection_URL** placeholder and use the following syntax to enter the URL:

**jdbc:oracle:thin:@//&lt;host&gt;:&lt;port&gt;/&lt;service_name&gt;?user=&lt;username&gt;&password=&lt;password&gt;&internal_logon=&lt;role&gt;**

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

HTML entity encoding still present in JDBC URL template.

This issue was flagged in the previous review but remains unresolved. The template uses &lt; and &gt; instead of literal angle brackets, which will render incorrectly when users copy the syntax.

🔧 Proposed fix 
-   **jdbc:oracle:thin:@//&lt;host&gt;:&lt;port&gt;/&lt;service_name&gt;?user=&lt;username&gt;&password=&lt;password&gt;&internal_logon=&lt;role&gt;**

at line 48, The JDBC URL template line still contains HTML-escaped angle
brackets; update the bolded template string that currently reads with entities
(&lt;host&gt; etc.) so it uses literal angle brackets (<host>, <port>,
<service_name>, <username>, <password>, <role>) instead of &lt; and &gt; to
ensure the URL renders and copies correctly in the document (the line shown in
the diff / the bolded jdbc:oracle:thin:@//... template).


Now, replace the placeholders with your Oracle database details:
- **Host Name** – The hostname of your database server (e.g., localhost).
- **Port** – The port on which the database is running (e.g., 1521).
- **Service Name** – The service name of the database (or select SID if service name is unavailable).
- **Username** – Your database username (e.g., SYS).
- **Password** – Your database password.
- **Role** – Database role (e.g., SYSDBA).

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Clarify placeholder notation in example URL.

This issue was flagged in the previous review. The example shows &password=<123456789012> with ambiguous angle brackets. Once the template on line 48 is corrected to use literal angle brackets for placeholders, this example should be updated to clearly distinguish actual values from placeholder notation.

at line 62, The JDBC URL example currently uses an ambiguous placeholder
&password=<123456789012> which can be mistaken for a literal value; update the
example in the docs (the line containing the JDBC URL example) to use a clear
placeholder consistent with the earlier template on line 48—e.g., replace the
numeric token with a descriptive placeholder like &password=<your_password> (or
use escaped angle brackets &lt;your_password&gt; if needed for Markdown
rendering) so it is unambiguous that this is a placeholder and not an actual
password.


[[info | **NOTE**:]]
| In the **Service Name** field:
| - If you select **SID**, enter FREE (the default service).
| - If you select **Service Name**, enter your actual service name.

4. Click the **Row-Count** placeholder and specify the expected number of affected rows for validation.

5. Click **Create Step**.
