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.
