I have a response in below format.

```
[
    {
        "Name": "PQR",
        "Code": "000XXY",
        "Text": "ssdd1",
        "Charg1": {
            "step": 1,
            "Months": 3,
            "endDate": "2099-09-01T00:00:00",
            "percent": 10
        },
        "Fees1": false
    },
    {
        "Name": "ABC",
        "Code": "000XXY",
        "Text": "assd2 ",
        "Charg2": {
            "step": 2,
            "Months": 3,
            "endDate": "2099-09-01T00:00:00",
            "percent": 10
        },
        "Fees2": false
    },
]

```

I have tried below test scripts to validate the objects using below functions

```
var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
console.log(jsonData.length);

     pm.test("Body matches string from response body",function()
    {   
        for (i=0; i<jsonData.length;i++)
        {
            pm.expect(jsonData[i].text).to.include("Name");
        }

    });

```

Getting Below error message

Body matches string from response body | AssertionError: object tested must be an array, a map, an object, a set, a string, or a weakset, but undefined given

Hey @sudarshan.ohal

Welcome to the Postman community! ⭐

I’m not 100% clear what you’re trying to check for but it looks like you’re trying to check that the `Name` property is part of each `object`.

You could do that like this:

```
pm.test("Body matches string from response body", function() {   
	for (i=0; i < jsonData.length; i++) {
		pm.expect(jsonData[i]).to.have.property("Name");
	}
});

```

The reference with had in the `pm.expect()` statement _jsonData[i].text_, doesn’t exist in the object so it would be `undefined`.

This assertion would be looking for the property in the object called `text` and checking that the value of that included the string `Name`.

```
pm.expect(jsonData[i].text).to.include("Name");
```
