1. Overview

Once the scenario is recorded using Record Scenario feature, the next step is generating test cases.

Test cases are generated with BDD format in Gherkin language (GWT).

Example of Feature File generated in BDD format:

Given I have access to an application

When I selected a Button in file

And I selected New File in file

Then verify New page is displayed in file

The generated test cases will be stored in the Test Cases.

You can generate test cases using Generate TestCase button.

2. How to Generate Test Cases?

In the Test Design screen after profiling, click Generate Testcase button, To know more about profiling check Profiling.
A Test Case Generation pop-up will appear, allowing you to monitor the progress. You can stop the generation at any time by clicking Stop Generation. If needed, you may minimize the pop-up by clicking Minimize, and restore it by clicking Maximize.
The generated test cases are stored in the Test Cases. This folder includes a spreadsheet which contains GWT steps in XLSX format and Feature File in TXT format.
Test Case Generation might fail for the following reasons:
- If no nodes are created.
- If Scenarios are not created, see Test Case Generation Issues.
You can download the test cases and delete them using the respective buttons.By clicking the 'More' icon (three dots), you can access De-duplication and Scenario Quality Analysis. To learn more about them, click on De-duplication and Scenario Quality Analysis.
You can click the 'Generate' button to generate scripts. In script generation screen all the files will be selected by default, you can unselect and select as needed, click Generate Scripts for scripts to be generated.
Note that .xls file supports storage up to 7000 rows (GWT lines) of data. You can modify and save the lines, download the file without any issues.
After generating the scripts, you can download, view, compile, and execute them.
Check How to Automate Web applications to know more about compilation and to view scripts.
Check Scripts Execution in algoQA to know more about execution.
You can rename the generated script folder and download it.
Hover rover script generated folder and edit icon will be visible.
