Introduction of Worksoft SaaS Feature/Concept :: Lesson 10 :: Topic 4


1. Test Instructions Grid - Instructions
The test instructions grid is the heart of a test script. It contains Instructions where the logic within your test script is built.
  • Test Instruction # column: Worksoft SaaS automatically generates the test instruction number within the test script and this can be used to understand the sequence of instructions and for easy reference.
  • Each Instruction contains Command, Target and Value.
  • The 'Command' column: The 'Command' column contains the specific commands based on which the action is performed.
  • The 'Target' column: The 'Target' contains the locators to identify the user interface elements on the web page or the native/hybrid app for commands that interact with your AUT. A locator is unique way of identifying element on the UI of the AUT.
  • The 'value' column: The 'value' contains the values fed into input related commands for the corresponding elements.

2. Test Instructions Grid - Actions
Apart from containing the Test Instructions, the Grid also provides us with Action buttons, in case we want to make modifications. 
     
The 'Actions' column contains several icons that will allow you to perform functions like:
  1. Adding a test instruction: This is useful when you want to enhance the automation that is recorded by QaSCRIBE.
  2. Deleting a test instruction: In case an instruction got recorded twice because you accidentally clicked on a button twice, then you can delete the duplicate instructions.
  3. Adding comments: As a best practice, you can add comments/descriptions to every instruction or a group of instructions explaining its actions. This is helpful, especially in cases where there are multiple users within your project who will be using the test scripts you have created, to perform test execution.
  4. Editing an instruction: This is used in cases where you want to make modifications to the Command/Target/Value of an instruction.
  5. Commenting/Uncommenting an instruction: This is used when you don't want a particular instruction to be executed.
  6. Turning 'ON'/'OFF' the Tooltips on the Actions column icons: Tooltips are provided on the Action icons to help you understand/remind the purpose of each action. This is helpful when you are new to Worksoft SaaS. Once you're comfortable and no longer need them, you have the option to turn on/off the tooltips by clicking the toggle button. This is test script level selection. You can also make the selection permanent, by updating your preference in the Project Settings.

3. Drag and drop feature
Within the Test Instructions Grid, it is possible for you to rearrange your instructions by using the drag and drop feature. This is especially useful if you want to add comments/description before the recorded instructions.
