Entering Non-Text Keys in Test Cases


Testing applications requires simulating non-text keys’ input on an everyday basis. This includes replicating actions like pressing backspace, enter, control, tab, arrow keys, and function keys. To accomplish this in Testsigma, you should follow the guide below and include the specified values for each key in your test cases.


Use NLPs in your test cases to input non-text values. For example, utilise the NLP Press Test Data key and substitute the values for Test Data. Consult the table below for the mapping of keys to their corresponding values.
