Introduction

An If Statement is a conditional statement that, if proven true, performs a number of steps. There are certain scenarios where we need to execute some steps only if a certain condition is met. IF Statements can be nested within other IF Statements. An IF Statement can cross the boundary of a test case and continue into the next test case.

​
If Statements

IF Statements can be added by using the Start If Statement action. In order to close an IF Statement, you need to use the End If Statement action. You can choose from the following types of IF Statements:
If Condition TypeDescription

Element Is Not PresentChecks if an element is not present
Element Matches ValueChecks if the text from an element matches a certain value
