Introduction 

You will find some actions listed in strikethrough text on the Test Cases and Tasks screens. We recommend not to use these actions when developing a new test case as there are better options available now for the same operation. While these actions will continue to work in this release, they might be taken away in future releases with appropriate migration methods.

In reports also, you will find these actions in the strike-through text.

Following is the complete list of deprecated actions:
