Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Action Step and Record?

Record automatically captures actions, while Action Step manually selects and adds pre-defined actions. Actions are reusable and centrally managed.

Are tests affected when an action is updated?

Yes. When an action in the Action Library is updated, all testcases using that action are automatically updated.
