Step Groups

A Step Group is a reusable block of Web test steps and actions shared across multiple testcases in a project. Reference a group inside testcases instead of duplicating the same flow.

Why use step groups

  • Reuse login, navigation, or common flows across many testcases.
  • Update the group once; testcases that reference it use the updated steps after load/save.
  • Keep testcase step lists shorter and easier to maintain.

Create a step group (standalone)

  1. Go to Web > Step Groups and click Create.
    2. step group create modal window
  2. In the modal, enter Name, Description, Major Release Status, and optional releases. click Create.
    3. step group editor
  3. Open the new step group (click View).
  4. Click + in Test Steps to add steps (for example Login_As_Sales_Representative, Open outlet list).
  5. Select a step → + Add Action → set type, element, and Edit Element if needed.
    6. step group editor
  6. Click Save.

Create from testcase steps

  1. Open a Web testcase in Edit and select two or more enabled steps (not another step group).
  2. In the Step menu, choose Create Step Group.
    3. step group editor
  3. In the Create New Step Group modal, enter Step Group Name (for example Prime_FMCG_SG), Description, Major Release, optional Minor Release, and Status (for example in_review), then click Create.
    4. step group editor
  4. The selected steps are saved as the new group and replaced by one step group reference in the testcase. Save the testcase if prompted.

Use a step group in a testcase

  1. Open testcase details → Edit.
  2. Step menu → Add Step Group (or Add → Add Step Group).
    3. step group editor
  3. Pick a group in the Select Step Group modal.
    4. step group editor
  4. A Step Group row is inserted (expandable in the Test Steps panel). Save the testcase.

Expected outcome

A reusable Step Group is stored in the project. Testcases reference it as one expandable step, and the group's inner steps run as part of the parent testcase flow.
