We want to validate that the tooltip shown in the image below appears properly when a user hovers the mouse over the Shuffle button.

To activate tooltip validation:

1. Place the cursor over the UI element whose tooltip you want to validate.

2. When the tooltip appears, press T.

3. In the next screen, check whether the correct tooltip element has been selected and click Next to confirm.

4. Ensure the attribute Exists is checked and click OK to confirm.

There are two recorded actions in the actions table. Action 2 is the tooltip validation.

1. Actions table and tooltip validation action.

2. Linked repository item representing the tooltip UI element.
