Marking a Test Method in a Script as a Keyword

This functionality is supported only if you are using the Open Agent.

Mark an existing test method in a script as a keyword to reuse the method in keyword-driven tests.

Open the script which includes the test method that you want to mark as a keyword.
Add keyword to the start of the test method. By default, the keyword name is the name of the test method.
Optional: You can set a different name for the keyword by adding alias "KeywordName" to the start of the test method.

You can now use the test method as a keyword in a keyword-driven test.

Examples

To mark the test method TestLogin as a new keyword with the name Login, type the following before the start of the test method:

keyword TestLogin() alias "Login"

To mark the test method TestLogin as a new keyword with the name Login and with the two input parameters UserName and PassWord, type the following:

keyword TestLogin(string UserName, string PassWord) alias "Login" keyworddescription "Logs in with the given name and password."
    ...    // method implementation
