Automation V3: 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 a test step and invoking it easily across all test cases. You can learn more about creating custom test steps here. 

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