Deleting Test Steps Using the Test Steps Window

You can delete any test steps other than the <<Start>> and <<End>> steps from the Test Steps pane, however, since some test steps depend on other test steps for proper execution, the following rules apply:

  • Deleting an If logic type test step also results in the deletion of any Else If, Else, or End If test step associated with the deleted If test step.

  • Deleting an End If logic type test step also results in the deletion of any If, Else, or Else If test step associated with the deleted If test step.

  • Deleting an Else or Else If logic type step only deletes the Else or Else If test step. The If and End If test steps are not deleted.

  • Deleting a Repeat logic type test step also results in the deletion of the End Repeat test step.

  • Deleting a test step that attaches to a screen or is an automation step results in the deletion of any associated steps with the exception of decision and repeat logic test steps. Automation steps associated with the attach step are deleted, unless another similar attach step to the same screen exists prior to the associated action steps.

  1. With the visual test open in the Test Steps pane, right-click the test step or multiple test steps that you want to delete and choose Delete. You can select multiple sequential or non-sequential steps, and then delete them as a sequential group.
  2. If any of the test steps are screen type steps, a message appears asking you to delete the screen item and its associated steps.
    • Click Yes to delete the selected step and its associated steps.
    • Click No to delete only the selected step and not delete any associated test steps.
    • Click Cancel to close the message without deleting any test steps.
