Using Add-ons to Extend the Testsigma Actions
Why do you need add-ons?
Section titled “Why do you need add-ons?”End to end testing involves automating a large number of diverse features and functionalities within the Application under Test (AUT), some of which may be unique to an AUT.
Testsigma automates a diverse set of actions via its simple English based actions, but sometimes there are unique actions you need to automate in a test. Since it is not feasible to predict action statements for all these scenarios beforehand, we provide a dynamic solution to extend the built-in actions, i.e., add-ons.
For example, the scroll indefinitely till the bottom of the page action is applicable to an application that has a huge list of items where the list keeps adding individual items to a list until the user scrolls to the end. Think Pinterest, or an e-commerce website listing clothes.
If your test case involves scrolling to the bottom of the page to verify the copyright, you can create an add-on to automate it at scale using Testsigma.
How do you use add-ons?
Section titled “How do you use add-ons?”You can use the pre-existing add-ons available in Community.
If you are creating your own add-on, you can share it with the rest of the test automation community through the Add-ons Community Marketplace. You can also keep a private repository of add-ons that is only accessible to you. This is handy if your add-on has proprietary code for your specific applications.
