Using Multi Steps for script writing enables users to record the testing process in a step wise manner, enhancing precision and clarity in test script creation.
Test Steps are Managed and Edited under the Test Script tab of the Test Case where Multi Steps is the default mode for Test Case writing.
To begin writing the Test Script or Test Steps click on the text ‘Click here to add a new test step and expected result’ seen below.
Step Number: The first column you will see in the Test Script tab is Step#. A Step Number or Step ID is allocated to each Test Step by default once the step has been created.

However you can find the Test Data if any, by clicking the ‘View Test Data’ button, below the Result icon in the far right of your test run screen.
3. Expected Result: In the Expected Result column, document the outcome resulting from the action specified in the Step column. Ensuring accuracy in this column is essential, as the information will be visible in the Test Run during the test execution.

Hover Menu Options: Hovering the cursor next to the Step ID displays additional menu options, Change Position, Delete Test Step and Add New Test Step.
