Common Error conditions
There are no error conditions for this keyword.
Condition Keywords
Else
This keyword is used to provide an alternative scenario to be executed; when IF condition fails. It is always executed along with “If” keyword. It does not take any Object or data input arguments.
Input Arguments
Output
Example
Let us consider a test flow where you want to verify the If condition. If the If condition is not satisfied then it comes to the Else loop and creates corresponding message. In this case you can use “else” keyword as follows:
Common Error conditions
EndIf
This keyword is used to declare End of If block in your test case. This keyword is always used with If statement.
Input Arguments
Note: It is mandatory to use If statement while using EndIf.
Output
Example
Let us consider a test flow where you want to end the If loop then “EndIf” keyword can be used as shown below:
To declare End of If block in your test case you need to use EndIf statement.
Common Error conditions
If
This keyword is used to use conditional logic in your test case. This keyword is mostly used in situations where you want make a test flow in which the Test steps are based on some conditions.
Input Arguments
Output
Example
Let us consider a test flow where you have to compare the output of the previous step:
Common Error conditions
Iteration Keywords

This keyword is breaks out of For-Loop.It Supports breaking out of multi level nested loops. This keyword is mostly used in situations where you need to take exit from one of the loop among several nested for loops.
Input Arguments
Output
Example
Let us consider a test flow where you want to exit from the For loop after 3 iterations then “ExitLoop” keyword can be used as shown below:
ExitLoop
Common Error conditions
For
This keyword is used for looping or repeating a set of keywords for some specific number of iterations (repetitions). It is always executed along with “Next” keyword. It takes number of “Iterations” as the data input arguments.
Input Arguments
Output
Example
Let us consider a test flow where you have to iterate login steps number of times then you can create a for loop by using “for” keyword as follows:
For
Common Error conditions
Next
This keyword is used to end the “for” loop iteration. It is always executed along with “For” keyword. It does not take any Object or data input arguments.
Input Arguments
Output
Example
Let us consider a test flow where you have to login on a web page 5 times. Then instead of using login step keyword 5 times, you can create a for loop by using “for” keyword along with “Next” as follows:
Common Error conditions
Obstruction Keywords
PauseExecution
This keyword is used to pause the ongoing execution. This keyword is mostly used in situations where you want to pause the ongoing execution after certain Test Steps. This keyword is used in Debug Mode of test execution only.
Input Arguments
Output
Example
Let us consider a test flow where the user has logged in to a website and now want to pause the execution then “pause execution” keyword can be used as shown in the screenshot below:
Sleep
This keyword is a static sleep and it waits (sleeps) for specified time (sec). This keyword takes seconds as Data input arguments
Input Arguments
Output
True
If the keyword passes successfully
Example
If you want to wait for a while after Opening any browser then use “Sleep” keyword as shown below:
StopExecution
This keyword is used to stops the ongoing execution. The Final PASS/FAIL status would depend on steps executed until this point is reached.
Input Arguments
Output
Example
Let us consider a test flow where the user has logged in to a website and now want to stop the execution then “stop execution” keyword can be used as shown below:
StopExecution
Common Error conditions
There are no error conditions for this keyword.
