Test Palette Introduction

The Test Palette is where you’ll find a rich set of test commands to perform various testing activities within Provar Automation. Commands are broken into smaller, collapsible sections based on the type of test activity.

In general, to use a test command in your test, locate it in the Test Palette view and drag and drop it into your test case. This will create a test step corresponding to that command.

Note: Custom test steps are a way to extend the standard features of Provar Automation by writing your own logic in the form of an API and invoking it easily across all test cases. You can learn more about creating custom APIs here. 

Find the support documents for these commands linked in the tables below.

UI

These test steps perform user interface testing and can often be created more quickly using the Test Builder. This process is often preferable to drag-and-drop from the Test Palette since the user can prefill more options. When this option is available, it will be described on the test command’s help page with step-by-step examples.

UI Connect

UI Fill

UI Handle Alert

UI On Screen

UI With Row

Utility

These test steps allow you to manipulate strings, compare lists, read data from a file, and write to Excel.
