A test case execution on a run-time can include or skip execution of a step or tasks, if it satisfies certain conditions.
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.
