Editing Tests

there may be many reasons when users want to edit a test under the "edit test" view users can add, edit or delete test steps, set parameters or add new assertions this allows users to customize and existing test for application or business rule changes or if there something that specifically needs to be validated that has not automatically been done so once the user enters the edit test mode, a new test session is started and allows the user to set a breakpoint, run the test up to that step and then the user can add any steps as they would do in any interactive test authoring docid 5zveygjirt13svacydzxk the following video demonstrates how live editing works in the live edit mode there are three things that users should pay attention to breakpoint you can click before any step to create a breakpoint on that point the grey triangle indicates the location of a breakpoint the blue triangle indicates the current location of the test continue this button allows the user to run the test up to that set breakpoint step over this button allows the user to execute one step at a time when a breakpoint is set quick edit mode if the user wants to make small changes to the test like reselecting a target or adding a step like wait for time they can simply click on the test name on the test list to invoke the quick edit mode the quick edit mode also serves as your view to the test details you can review the test steps in the context of the last test execution add or delete a test step under the "edit test" view a user can edit any predefined step by choosing the pencil when hovering over the test step a step can also be added above or below by hovering over this test edit pencil under the edit command bar , a user can choose from a list of available actions like the wait for time as shown in the image below if the user doesn't want to invoke the live test edit they can even use the quick edit mode to pick a new target element the "pick target element" allows you to visually choose the target for your user action or assertion by highlighting the desired element in the screenshot of your application inline parameters test parameters can be changed in the edit test view in two locations, either directly in the test step itself or in the params& config view the parameter for the text value can be static or defined at the environment level, which can be seen the example below to see all the parameters at once for a given test, chose the "params & config" button, here you can adjust values as well as see a drop down of options for pre defined values after changes are complete, be sure to "apply" the new steps and validate your test to ensure it runs properly
