Step 3: Get better results

• Use the “Add Parameter” feature to make your tests reusable. For example, you can parameterise usernames and passwords to test multiple accounts.

Pro tip

Create a library of reusable steps for common actions (like logging in) to save time when creating new test cases. You can do this by saving frequently used steps as templates.

Common mistake to avoid

Avoid writing overly complex test steps. Stick to simple, clear language. If a step is too complicated, break it down into smaller steps to ensure that the test runs smoothly and is easy to understand.
