A test case execution on a run-time can include or skip execution of specific step or tasks as per the specified condition is satisfied.

Key Points

You can add If-Else block to a task and test case much like conditional structures used in programming languages, with a limitation that nested IF blocks are not supported.
If block has the following structure:
- IF – ELSE IF –ELSE – ENDIF
- You can add zero or more occurrences of ELSE-IF and zero or exactly one occurrence of ELSE. Zero or multiple occurrences of IF blocks can be added to a task.

It is mandatory to add expression to evaluate for IF and ELSE IF steps. You cannot save these tasks with blank expressions.
Expressions are much like the ones used in programming languages.
You can form conditions based on the status of previous step, values of environment variables/stored variables and arithmetic, logical and bitwise operators.
You can avoid adding a task for adding a single step to test case. A step can be directly added to a test case. It is possible to specify object, action, and parameters to a TC step just like a task step.
