New steps for UI-related actions and user actions in a test from the UI catalog

When you want to add UI-related actions and user actions to update a test, you can add those steps from the UI catalog. UI-related actions are actions such as opening a new page and adding a new section in the test. User actions are actions such as click, select, type, and key press for user inputs.

You can add the following UI-related actions and user actions from the UI catalog in the Catalog tab to update the test:
Catalog element Description Reference
Verify You can verify the property such as content, type, class, label, exists, tagname, id, xpath, name, and value of a UI object. You can use any property that is listed in the Properties section for verification.

When you run the test, Test Hub compares the property of the object that was set in the recorded test with the property of the object during the playback. This comparison helps determine if any changes have occurred in the application, either intentionally or unintentionally.
