Create Test Steps in Testsigma

In Testsigma terminology, each automated action executed by the test script is a test step. For example, in a login form, Enter <username> in the <username> field is a test step. This article discusses creating test steps for web, mobile web, Android, and iOS applications using Testsigma recorder & simple English (NLPs).

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you're familiar with concepts of Features and Scenarios, Test Step Types, have installed the Test Recorder, and have a Web/Android/iOS app to test.

Creating Test Steps Manually

Web & Mobile Web

1. From the left navigation bar, go to Create Tests > Test Cases.
2. In the Test Case Explorer section, expand the required feature and click the + icon next to the target scenario. This will open a dialog box.

3. On the dialog box, validate the target feature and scenario, enter the name, and click Create.

   Alternatively, click the + icon next to the search bar and select New Test Case from the drop-down menu. Follow the same steps as above.
   

4. Use NLPs to create test steps as per the test case scenario.

   For example, if you’re creating test steps for the login page, your test steps will be:

   1. Navigate to https://simply-travel.testsigma.com/
   2. Click on Login or Sign Up
   3. Click on Login
   4. Enter <email> in the <email address> field
   5. Click on Continue
   6. Enter <password> in the <password> field
   7. Click on Submit
