New test steps from the General catalog
When you want to add a log statement, verification point, and variable assignment as a step, you can add those steps from the General catalog. You can also add pausing of the test for a specific duration as a test step.
You can add the following steps from the General catalog in the Catalog tab to update the test:
| Catalog element | Description | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Assign | You can assign a value to an existing variable or a new variable. | Assigning test variable values from a dataset by using the Assign step |
| Log | You can insert a custom log statement in a test as a step. The inserted log
statement is printed in the Console window and the Functional
report. For example, you can add a custom statement to demarcate the test steps related to order generation, user creation, or report generation in an application or you can use a log statement to display the value of a variable. |
