Control groups

A control is a screen element in your application that you interact with in your tests. You can organize controls of the type link, button, and radio button into groups. Since you usually select only one control of this type at a time, such as a radio button, you don't select multiple options, but one. This helps you structure your controls view more clearly in the test case.

Create control group

Before you begin, note that you can only group controls of the same type, within the same module, and without child attributes.

Group the controls as follows:

1. Go to Inventory > Modules and select the module with the controls you want to group.

2. Select the checkbox for each control you want to add to the group.

3. Select Create control group from the context menu.

4. Save your changes.

Unbind control group

If you no longer need a control group, you can easily unbind it as follows:

1. Use the checkbox to select the control group you want to unbind.

2. Select Unbind control group from the context menu.

3. Save your changes.

Steer control group

You select the control you want to steer from the control group element. Therefore, you have different options for each type of control, as listed below.
