Shared Steps

The Shared Steps section contains all your Shared Steps Collections (e.g., setup, prepare for battle, etc.) that you have created. You can also create new collections and edit existing ones here.

What is a Shared Step?

Shared Steps are reusable collections of test steps that can be included in multiple test cases. They allow you to define common sequences of actions once and reuse them across your test suite, which helps maintain consistency and reduces duplication.

For example, if many of your tests require the same initial setup (like loading the game, accepting terms of service, or navigating to a specific menu), you can create a “Setup” Shared Steps Collection. Then, instead of repeating these steps in every test, you can simply import the shared collection.

Benefits of using Shared Steps include:

• Maintainability: When you need to update a common sequence, you only need to change it in one place
• Consistency: Ensures that common procedures are executed the same way across all tests
• Efficiency: Reduces the time spent writing and maintaining duplicate test steps
• Readability: Makes test cases cleaner and more focused on their specific testing goals

Creating and Editing Shared Steps

Creating and editing Shared Steps is very similar to creating a normal test. Check out Creating a Test for additional information on how to write test steps.
