You can address alert view buttons and fields by their indexes or captions. Using captions is usually better, as it makes your tests more readable. However, the captions may change during the application run. You can verify that a button or field contains the correct text or save the text to a variable for future use. This topic explains how you can obtain the text of a button or field.
