Types of Steps
The following are the different types of Steps that get created depending on the commands being used.
Execution Step
Created when data points are dragged from the Data Miner. The Step commands correspond to the points dragged. Execution Steps can perform the following commands (types):
-
Write
-
Select
-
Operate
-
Select and Operate
-
Cancel
-
Verify Data
*Each of these commands are explained in detail in the Types of Commands section.
Composite Step
Created when a predefined command is dragged from the Commands pane. These commands are typically Connection or Control Block related.
Setup Step
A Setup Step is also a Composite Step but is created automatically when other Steps are created. It contains the prerequisites for the Steps created. The Setup Step is the first Step to be executed in a Test Sequence. It also provides the ability to Auto Cleanup the actions performed on devices after the Test is completed.
Auto Cleanup is an undo operation of the commands that were performed as part of Setup. For example, a Connect command will then Disconnect once the Test is complete.
