Key takeaways

  • UI steps let you script a real journey rather than checking a single URL.
  • Build the scenario in the order a user would follow, then run it to confirm each step resolves.
  • Keep scenarios short. A long chain fails often and tells you little about where.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does adding UI steps let me test?

A real journey rather than a single URL. You pick step actions such as navigation, assertions and screenshots, and chain them into the sequence a visitor would follow.

How should I build the scenario?

In the order a user would take, then run it to confirm each step resolves before adding the next. Building the whole chain first makes a failure hard to attribute.

How long should a scenario be?

Short. A long chain fails more often and tells you less about where the problem is, so several focused tests beat one that covers everything.
