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.
