As mentioned in my comment, it won't be possible to match the newly generated UUID.randomUUID().toString() with any of the the predefined values within your table list.

However, to generate and send a random number to the Search Box on Google Home Page you can use the following solution:

• Code Block :

   import java.util.UUID; import org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver; public class RandomNumbers_GoogleSearchBox { public static void main(String[] args) { System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\\\Utility\\\\BrowserDrivers\\\\geckodriver.exe"); WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(); driver.get("https://www.google.com/"); new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.name("q"))).sendKeys(UUID.randomUUID().toString()); } }
