You can only record actions for a keyword that already exists in a keyword-driven test, not for a keyword that is completely
new. To record a new keyword-driven test, see
Recording a Keyword-Driven Test.
To record the actions for a new keyword:
-
Open a keyword-driven test that includes the keyword that you want to record.
-
In the
Keyword-Driven Test Editor, click
Implement Keyword to the left of the keyword that you want to implement.
The
Implement Keyword dialog box opens.
-
Select which type of asset the new keyword should be:
- To implement the keyword as a .NET method, click
.NET Script. You can add the new keyword to an existing .NET script or create a new .NET script for the keyword by typing a name into
the
Asset Name field.
- To implement the keyword as a keyword sequence, click
Keyword. You cannot record a mid-level keyword, as it is a sequence of other keywords.
- To implement the keyword as a visual test, click
Visual Test.
-

Start Recording check box.

Click
