Key Features:

• Step-Level Variable Usage: Utilize variables within individual test steps, whether they are newly created during the recording or pre-existing.

• Enhanced Flexibility: Incorporate dynamic and reusable test data by referencing existing variables in your test scripts.

• Improved Script Maintenance: Reduce redundancy and streamline script updates by reusing variables across different test steps and scenarios.

• User-Friendly Interface: Easily select and apply existing variables through an intuitive interface in the extension.

Benefits:

• Increased Efficiency: Save time and effort by reusing variables, reducing the need to create new variables for each test step.

• Enhanced Maintainability: Simplify script maintenance and updates by centralizing variable management.

• Greater Flexibility: Handle dynamic data and complex test scenarios more effectively by leveraging existing variables.

• Consistency and Accuracy: Ensure consistent and accurate data usage throughout your test scripts.

How to Use:

1. Utilize Existing Variables:

   • While recording a test script, access the list of available variables.

   • Select the appropriate existing variable to use in the current test step.

   • Apply the variable within the test step, ensuring it accurately reflects the desired test data.

2. Manage Variables:

   • Access the variable management interface to view and manage all existing variables.

   • Update or modify variables as needed to ensure they meet the requirements of your test scenarios.

3. Apply Variables to Test Steps:

   • During the script recording or editing process, insert variables into specific test steps by selecting them from the variable list.

   • Ensure the correct application of variables to achieve the desired test outcomes.

Incorrect Landing Page from Browser Test Breadcrumbs (in ServiceNow Section)

When navigating within ServiceNow, users expect that clicking on the Browser Test breadcrumbs will lead them to the browser list page. However, currently, clicking on these breadcrumbs redirects users to the default out-of-the-box test page instead. This issue causes confusion and disrupts the expected navigation flow within the application.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Hit the URL

2. login as a test manager

3. choose the enterprise application project

4. Navigate to the test page--> click browser test tab

5. Click any one of the test cases

6. Navigate to test Manage page

7. click browser tests breadcrumbs

8. issue: It is landing on the OOB test list page

9. Expected: It should land on Browser test list page

Variables synchronization bug

When creating variables within the web application, they are expected to appear consistently across various locations for easy access and use within the extension. However, currently, newly created variables do not populate in the expected locations, such as the context menu and variables table, where they are typically managed and utilized. Instead, these variables are only visible in the dropdown menu, leading to difficulty in accessing and utilizing them effectively.
