Editing Tests

After a test is created, you can edit it by adding or deleting new steps at any location within the test. You can also modify existing steps by editing the Properties panel.

Adding/Removing Steps

You can add new steps to an existing test either at the end of the test, or at a specific location between steps. The new steps can be added in the following ways:

• By recording them in the AUT (Application Under Test)
• By manually creating them
• By copying & pasting them from somewhere else

Record Additional Steps

You can add additional steps to the end of your test or between current steps by recording them in the AUT browser.

1. Click on the Toggle Recording icon (in the top bar) to start recording.

2. Record the new steps in your test just as you would if you were recording a new test. See Recording the test on the How to Record a Test page.
3. Click the Stop Recording button when you have completed recording your new steps.

You are redirected to the Editor, and the new steps are appended to the end of your test.
