Steps
Steps are the basic components of a test. Steps can perform various operations and validations to meet almost any testing requirement, and each step has specific attributes. Click on the step name in the Visual Editor:
These attributes are visible in the Properties panel of the step:
There are two ways to add steps:
- Manual add step - Users can hover the mouse over the step arrow symbol to display the Add Step icon:
- Automatically Recorded Steps - During the test recording, steps are automatically added when the user interacts with the application under test through the Softfactory browser extension.
Step Types
In a specific test, a step can be a normal step, another test case, or the creation of a variable, etc. Softfactory supports the following step types:
| Step Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Step | Operate elements, such as clicking, entering values, etc. |
| Test Case | A step can be another test case, and when executing this step, all steps under this test case will be executed |
| Variable | If the type of the step is a variable, a variable will be created for other steps to use this variable |
| Verification | Verification-type steps can verify whether the final result of the test meets the expected |
