Target/Value facts match the source-of-truth catalog and Autotest step.

Prerequisites

  1. The field accepts keyboard input.

Steps

  1. Add a type step.
  2. Set Target and Value (INLINE or TEST_ACCOUNT).
  3. Save.

The step is stored on the autotest. Next - neighbouring steps or autotest run creation.

Step JSON fragment (copy-paste):

json
{
  "action_name": "type",
  "target": {
    "kind": "PLACEHOLDER",
    "value": "Search"
  },
  "value_text": "login",
  "value_source_type": "INLINE"
}

Common mistakes

  • Do not use type instead of fill without a reason - it is slower and more brittle.
