The 4Test language
Example The following 4Test code shows how to use the if statement to
conditionally execute a method. The code picks the Close menu item from
the File menu of the Text Editor application, which causes a message box to
appear if there is unsaved work. The if statement tests for the existence of the
message box.
TextEditor.File.Close.Pick ()
if MessageBox.Exists ()
// if the message box exists
MessageBox.No.Click () // then dismiss it
