Creating a Task

A task is a group of one or more steps. A step consists of an object and the action to be performed on that object. A step can also contain a generic action that does not require any object. In Qualitia, you can directly select the action for the step that requires generic action. You can collate various tasks to form a test case.

The Develop > Tasks screen allows you to create tasks and use them to build test cases.

You can also add the Conditional Structures when creating a task.  

To create a task:

1. Click Develop > Tasks.
   The Tasks screen appears.
   The screen is divided into two main panes, left pane and right pane. On left pane, all the existing tasks are organized in a tree structure.

    The file name could be any name as per the naming conventions supported by the operating system. The File Name field is not editable once the task is saved. The file is saved with .xml extension in the QualitiaProjectPath\<projectname>\Tasks folder.
6. Click OK.
   The task is added under Tasks pane in the left side. The new task on the left pane is highlighted.
