Lesson 3: Creating a group of steps

Group steps when they form a series of tasks that are performed together. Start by creating a group folder and then add statements to the group.

To create a group of steps, complete the following procedures:
  1. On the next line of the script, click to the right of the step icon (Next step icon), and then click Set as Folder (Folder button). Manual Tester changes the step icon (Next step icon) to a group folder icon (Folder button).
  2. With the cursor next to the group folder icon (Folder button), type the following text:

    Log In As Existing Customer.

    and then press Enter. Manual Tester positions the cursor so that the next statement you type is indented under the group folder.
  3. At the first step icon (Next step icon) in the group, type the following text:

    Make sure Existing Customer is selected.

    and then press Enter.
    Note: Manual Tester has indented the statement you just typed under the group folder.
  4. At the next step icon (Next step icon) in the group, type the following three steps, pressing Enter after each:

    Make sure Trent Culpito appears in the Full Name list.
    In the Password field, type 1234567.
    Click OK.

    Manual Tester indents each of these steps because they are part of the group. You have just created a group with four statements.
You now have a manual test script with step statements, verification points, and a group of steps:
