test uialert with App Testing Framework

I'm developing an app with AppDesigner. This app has to validate user input and give feedback to the user upon invalid input. For this purpose, I use uialert() function, and that part works pretty well.

I test the app with App Testing Framework, and I would like to test against uialert() existence and displayed text. The problem is that uialert does not return handler, and I cannot found any way to call this object.

Can you please recommend a way to achieve this goal?

I don't think it's possible to get handle of uialert function (I tried doing it briefly, but without succeeding), you should try doing this with inputdlg.

I agree,that this can be a solution, actually so far I see the only option.

Based on documentation, uialert should be used instead of inputdlg. So I'm a little bit confused with this.

From R2021a, matlab app testing framework supports dismissing uialert dialogs boxes- doc available. Hopefully you find this feature helpful.
