Viewing step-level results and updating tests

You can view the step-level results of each step after running a Web UI test. You can edit and update the failed steps in test scripts.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

Ensured that you are assigned a role as a Project Owner or Tester in the project. See Managing access to the server projects.
Ensured that you have run the Web UI test.
Read and understood the information in Edit branch overview and Create or select an Edit branch.

About this task

HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) collects the UI data during the test run and smartshots that are captured during the test run can be used to update the failed step. If an object is not identified during the test run, then the step fails. The test steps are indicated in different colors to specify the status of each test step. For the failed step, you can replace the smartshot with the latest one from the last test run. Also, you can update a step by replacing the smartshot and selecting a target element.
