Adding a Test Case

There are three ways to add a test case. You can record the case using the recorder, upload the case as an .xls, .xlsx, or .csv file, or manually enter the case and its steps.

Using the Recorder

To record a test case you first have to download and install the recorder extension in Google Chrome.

Installing the Recorder

If you click the Record icon and do not have the recorder extension installed, you will be prompted to do so. To install the recorder without the prompt:

1. Go to the AutonomIQ AI Enterprise Recorder extension page.
2. Click Add to Chrome.
3. In the Add “AutonomIQ AI Enterprise Recorder”? window, click Add extension.
4. The recorder will now be available in your extensions. To launch the recorder, in Google Chrome, click the Extensions icon and then click AutonomIQ AI Enterprise Recorder.

Recording a Test Case

When you launch the recorder, it records the actions you perform and translates them into test steps that can be managed in the step editor (see Using the Step Editor for more information). The recording happens in the background and is displayed in the AI Test Studio window. The recorder will start recording as soon as it is launched.

Manually Creating a Test Case

To manually add a test case:

On the Test Cases tab, click ADD TEST CASE and then click the Write button. See Using the Step Editor for information about the next steps.

Using the Step Editor

The step editor utilizes Natural Language Processing (NLP) and allows you to manually enter test steps, as opposed to using the recorder. This method gives you more focused control over the actions to test, but it can also result in more errors and frustration for a less-experienced user. If you are new to AutonomIQ, or to testing in general, you can start with the recorder (see Recording a Test Case for more information).

Creating a Step

The following are the basic instructions to add a step to a test case, but the step editor is a very robust tool that can perform much more complex functions. For more detailed information about using the step editor and NLP commands, see NLP Reference.

To create a new step in the step editor:

1. On the Test Cases tab, click the test case you want to create a step for. To create a new test case, see Adding a Test Case.
2. To add a new step, click the blue plus sign.

3. In the Action field, enter a command and any additional details. As you type, suggestions will be displayed; you can select one or continue entering the text manually.

4. In the Data field, you can enter any data that is required for the action.

5. You can add and edit step details in the list of steps, or you can click the expand button to open the editor in a separate window.

6. To edit the step as code, click the Code button.

7. To save the step, click the green checkmark.

Copying Excel Data

To paste copied data from an Excel spreadsheet into the step editor, on the Step Editor page, click the clipboard icon or use the CTRL+V or command+V keyboard shortcuts. The pasted steps will be added to the end of the list of steps.
