Overview
The "Replace with Existing Action" feature provides an efficient way to optimize and maintain automation logic by replacing selected statements in your test steps with an existing reusable Action. Actions are modular components, similar to functions in conventional programming, that encapsulate a set of predefined steps to enhance reusability and reduce redundancy in your test cases.
This feature allows you to replace multiple lines of logic with a single, reusable (existing) Action, enabling better test case management, reduced duplication, and ease of updates.
Using the Replace with Existing Action Feature
-
Select the Statements to Replace:
- Highlight the statements in the logic editor that you want to replace with an existing Action.
-
Initiate the Replacement:
- Click on the "Replace with Action" option from the context menu.
-
Choose an Action:
- In the pop-up dialog, a dropdown menu will appear with all available Actions.
- Select the desired Action to replace the selected statements.
-
Compatibility Check:
- The system automatically checks the compatibility of the selected Action with the statements being replaced.
- If the Action matches, a message will confirm that the replacement is safe to proceed, and parameter values will be populated automatically.
-
Handle Mismatches:
- If the system detects a mismatch in logic, a warning will be displayed indicating the mismatch.
- You will need to manually input the required parameter values for the selected Action.
- Caution: Only proceed if you are certain that the replacement Action is safe and appropriate for the current scenario.
- Once the parameters are set, click on Confirm Replacement. The selected statements will be replaced with the Action, streamlining your test case.
Best Practices
- Reuse Logic Wisely: Use this feature to consolidate commonly used test steps into Actions for better test logic organization.
- Caution with Mismatches: During mismatched replacements, proceed only if you fully understand the implications and are confident in the replacement.
- Parameter Mapping: Ensure that parameter values are correctly mapped when replacing statements with an Action.
