Web Action Types

The purpose of this document is to explain the available action types for component web testing.Every step created requires a "Step Description" and "Action Type."

Sometimes, additional inputs are required for an action types and these will be represented as "Required inputs" in this document.

Some action types have the option of "Parameterize," which allows a user to take the input from a .csv file and select which cells will be used while testing (Data Driven Testing).

A step can be made conditional by swiping the "Conditional Step" switch on the step to be made conditional. These steps run only if the conditions of the test meet the criterion. For example, when logging into some apps the first time it might ask to send notifications and usually that is a one-time occurrence. If the pop-up does not appear, the test will continue running without having to "complete" those steps.
