Steps, along with Groups are the fundamental components of a test. Steps can perform a variety of actions and validations to meet almost any testing requirement. Each step features specific properties, which are visible in the step’s property panel. Some steps can be shared individually as shared steps, while other steps require grouping with additional steps for sharing.

Steps can be added in two ways:

• Manual steps - the steps are added manually by the user, by hovering the mouse over the arrow symbol and selecting the relevant step from the Predefined Steps list. Alternatively it is possible to add steps manually by using one of the Keyboard shortcuts either from the visual editor or from the AUT browser.
• Automatically recorded steps - the steps are added automatically during the recording of a test as the user interacts with the application under test.
