TestStepBase Class

Base class of Test Step in Automation context

When automation framework runs a test case, it calls Run() method and then calls Checkpoint() method to verify if the action is correct.

When running test action in Run and Checkpoint, assign test result in TestResult property and leave detailed informations in Details property

The TestStepBase type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	TestStepBase	Initializes a new instance of the TestStepBase class.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Assertions	Gets or sets the assertions related to the current test step
	Context	Gets or sets the test case level Context values. The context is dispatched by the automation engine, and is read-only outside of the Test Cases. (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	CustomVariables	Gets a list of custom variables defined by the user. These variables will be saved with the project. and will be replaced if necessary. CustomVariables are more priority than variables in Variables, if an variable of the same name exists both in CustomVariables and Variables, the value of that in CustomVarialbes will return. (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	Description	Gets or sets the Description of the current AbstractTestItem (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	DisplayMessage	Gets or sets the information can be shown to the user (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	ElapsedTime	A DateTime object indicates the time when current steps finishes. EndTime is set by the test framework after the Checkpoint method has finishes. If the test step goes wrong, EndTime will be set when the error occurs. (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	Id	Gets or sets the unique identifier of the TestCase. (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	Information	Detailed information for diagnostic, debug. Do not call Information.Clear when running the test step, it will be automatically done within the base class.
	InformationString	Gets the string representation of Information
	IsDisabled	Gets or sets whether the current test item is disabled. (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	IsExpanded	Gets or sets a value indicating whether this item is extended in its Visual Tree. (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	Name	Gets or sets the name of this Test Case (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	OnErrorBehavior	Gets or sets the behavior of Automation Engine when the current test case fails
	Profile	Gets the profile.
	Progress	Gets or sets the progress of the current test item (Test suite or test case) (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	Project	Gets the AutomationProject object where this Test Step depends on.
	RelatedMessage	Gets or sets a Message object related to the current test step.
	RequestObject	Gets the request object.
	RequestText	Gets the Request Text from the related message, if the related message is null or empty, the return value is null.
	ResponseObject	Gets the response object.
	ResponseText	Gets the response text from the related message, if the related message is null the return value is null
	StartTime	A DateTime object indicates the time when current steps starts to run. StartTime is set by the test framework when the Run method has been called. (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	Status	Status of the current test item (TestSuite, TestCase or TestStep). Automation framework will mark Result = Running when entering the current item. If Result has not been changed in Run() and Checkpoint() method, it will be marked as Passed. You must assign Errors, Warning if it happens within Run and Checkpoint method. (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	TestCase	Gets the referenced test case for this test step
	ThreadId	Gets the thread identifier.
	Variables	Gets or sets the variables in the current test scope (Test Step, Test Case or Test Suite). (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	Compare	Compares two objects and returns a value indicating whether one is less than, equal to, or greater than the other. (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	CompareTo	Compares the current instance with another object of the same type and returns an integer that indicates whether the current instance precedes, follows, or occurs in the same position in the sort order as the other object. (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	DeleteItem	Deletes an sub item from the current scope. for Test Case, the item is test Step, For Test Suite, the item is test case, ... (Overrides AbstractTestItemDeleteItem(Object).)
	Dispose	Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources. (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	Dispose(Boolean)	Releases unmanaged and - optionally - managed resources. (Overrides AbstractTestItemDispose(Boolean).)
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetVariable	Gets the variable from the given context. (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	GetVariables	Gets All variables available for the current test scope. (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	InitStatus	Initializes the status of the Test Case (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	MoveDown	Moves down a test item in its parent items collections (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	MoveToBottom	Moves to bottom a test item in its parent items collections (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	MoveToTop	Moves on top a test item in its parent items collection. (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	MoveUp	Moves up a test item in its parent items collection. (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	OnPropertyChanged	Called when property value has changed. (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)
	Run	Runs this instance. Do not implement StartTime, Duration. Write information in the Information field, it will be shown in the log automatically.
	Run(Int64, TestCase, ListVariable, Profile)	Run current Test step, within the current TestCase.
	ToString	Returns a String that represents this instance. (Overrides ObjectToString.)
	UpdateId	Generates a new Identifier of the current AbstractTestItem and all its sub items. (Overrides AbstractTestItemUpdateId.)

Events

	Name	Description
	PropertyChanged	Occurs when the test case properties has been changed. (Inherited from AbstractTestItem.)

Extension Methods

	Name	Description
	Copy	Deep copy the given TestStep from the original by using serialization. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	ToStringOrXml	Converts any Object to string representation in String or XML format. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	ToXmlString	Converts any Object to string representation in XML format. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
