Call to Existing Action

Lesson 8 · Dividing Tests into Multiple Actions

Choose Insert > Call to Existing Action. The Select Action dialog box opens.

Click the browse button next to the From test box. Select the ActionA test in
the Open Test dialog box, and click Open. Note that only reusable actions
from the ActionA test are displayed in the Select Action dialog box.

Select the Sign_in action. In the Location area, select At the end of the test.
Click OK. The call to Sign_in [ActionA] action is added to the end of the test
as a call to an external action with the

icon.

Note that you cannot expand the Sign_in action call in the test flow in the
Keyword View. To view the steps in the Sign_in action, select it from the
Action List. The action call you inserted is read-only. To modify the action,
you must open the original (ActionA) test and modify the action there.

Select Test Flow in the Action List to return to the main flow of the test in
the Keyword View.

3 Insert a call to the ReturnHome action.

Use the instructions in step 2 to insert a call to the ReturnHome action from
ActionA. The ReturnHome action is added to the end of your test.
