Applies to TestComplete 15.47, last modified on January 20, 2023
The manual testing functionality is deprecated. Do not use it for creating new tests. It will be removed in a future TestComplete release.

Description

Use this property to obtain the identifier of a manual test step that was generated by a manual testing event. Step identifiers are shown in the ID field of the Manual Testing editor.

Declaration

ManualTestingStepEventParamsObj.StepID

Read-Only Property String
ManualTestingStepEventParamsObj An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to a ManualTestingStepEventParams object

Applies To

The property is applied to the following object:

ManualTestingStepEventParams

Property Value

The string that holds the step identifier.

Example

The following code snippet is an event handler for the OnStepFail event. When a manual test step fails, the code gets the ManualTestingStepEventParams object, obtains the ID of the failed step and specifies what actions should be performed.

JavaScript, JScript

function GeneralEvents_OnStepFail(Sender, StepParams)
{
  // Obtains the step ID
  var ID = StepParams.StepID;

  // Specifies the actions to be performed
  switch (ID)
  {
    case "STEP_L":
          StepParams.StepActions = ManualTests.mtsaRetry // Execute the test step once again
          break;
    case "STEP_M":
          StepParams.StepActions = ManualTests.mtsaSkip // Skip the current test step
          break;
    case "STEP_N":
          StepParams.StepActions = ManualTests.mtsaStop // Stop the test execution
          break;
  }

}

Python

def GeneralEvents_OnStepFail(Sender, StepParams):
  # Obtains the step ID 
  ID = StepParams.StepID # Specifies the actions to be performed
  if ID == "STEP_L":
    StepParams.StepActions = ManualTests.mtsaRetry 
    # Execute the test step once again
  elif ID == "STEP_M":
    StepParams.StepActions = ManualTests.mtsaSkip
    # Skip the current test step
  elif ID == "STEP_N":
    StepParams.StepActions = ManualTests.mtsaStop 
    # Stop the test execution

VBScript

Sub GeneralEvents_OnStepFail(Sender, StepParams)

  ' Obtains the step ID
  ID = StepParams.StepID

  ' Specifies the actions to be performed
  Select Case ID
    Case "STEP_L" StepParams.StepActions = ManualTests.mtsaRetry ' Execute the test step once again
    Case "STEP_M" StepParams.StepActions = ManualTests.mtsaSkip ' Skip the current test step
    Case "STEP_N" StepParams.StepActions = ManualTests.mtsaStop ' Stop the test execution
  End Select

End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure GeneralEvents_OnStepFail(Sender, StepParams);
var ID;
begin
  // Obtains the step ID
  ID := StepParams.StepID;

  // Specifies the actions to be performed
  case ID of
    'STEP_L' : StepParams.StepActions := ManualTests.mtsaRetry; // Execute the test step once again
    'STEP_M' : StepParams.StepActions := ManualTests.mtsaSkip; // Skip the current test step
    'STEP_N' : StepParams.StepActions := ManualTests.mtsaStop; // Stop the test execution
  end;

C++Script, C#Script

  // Obtains the step ID
  var ID = StepParams["StepID"];

  // Specifies the actions to be performed
  switch (ID)
