Search Within a Test

The search feature allows you to search for objects within a test. The search is conducted by entering free text (at least three characters) into the search field within the test itself. The search is NOT case sensitive.

The search is conducted in the following test objects (see limitations list at the bottom):

Step description - the text that was inputted in the step's Description field and/or the Text to assign field.
JS Code - any part of the JS Code that is part of a step. For example, any part of the JS Code in a Add custom validations and actions step.
Parameters - the name and/or the value of a JS or HTML parameter inside a step.
Base URL - any part of the base URL.
URL - any part of a URL inside a Navigation Step or Add an API Action Step
Test Data - any part of the Test Data in a step.
Condition - the any part of the Java Script condition defined in the When to run step attribute of the step when the Custom option is selected. See Conditions
Loop - the any part of the Java Script condition defined in the When to run step attribute of the step when the Loop for option is selected.
