How to create and use Functions?

Functions are a named set of test steps that can be used in a test case. If we find ourselves using the same set of test steps more than once, then using a function would be preferable.

There are two ways to create a function. 

1. The first way is by grouping the steps.

• Select the check boxes (on the left) for the steps to be included in the function.
• Click on the Grouping icon which is placed between [Copy selected steps] and [Break].

• Give the function a name
• Click on Group
• A prompt will appear asking to replace the steps with the newly created function. Click Yes.
• Notice that the steps have been replaced with "CALL <function_name>"

2. The second way is to navigate to the Function library.

• Click on Library > Functions
• Click on New Function
• Give the function a name
• Click on Save
• Fill in the steps for the function (just like a test case)
• Save the function
• Open test case and create a step: "CALL <function_name>"
