Test Step Settings


In Testsigma, you can control how each test step behaves in your test cases by using test step settings. These settings allow you to decide how your test cases run and show results. You can also use them to set step conditions and attempt them again if required.


Prerequisites


Use Test Step Settings

To use test step settings, click either the Settings icon or the ellipsis icon on a particular test step. Then, choose Step Settings from the list that appears to open the Test Step Settings panel on the test case page.

Below is a summary of the available settings:

Settings Description
Max wait time Set the Maximum Wait Time limit for completing the test step. It will fail if the test step takes longer than the specified time (up to a maximum of 120 seconds).
No. of Retries on Step Failure Select the Number of Retries on Step Failure from the dropdown menu (up to 10 times) to decide how many times you want to attempt to execute the test step again if it fails.
Pre-Requisite Select a prerequisite step from the list of available steps in the same test case. This step must be successfully done before the current step runs.
Stop Test Case execution on Test Step It allows you to terminate test execution if the test fails at any step. By default, this option is checked, and test case execution will stop if the test step fails.
Ignore this step result in Test Case Result It allows you to exclude the outcome of a particular step from the overall test result.
Disable Step It allows you to capture and compare the visual appearance of an application's user interface between different builds or versions.
Enable Visual Testing for the Step You can disable the test step by choosing this option, and the test step will not run. By default, this option is unchecked.
