Copying of Steps

This topic describes how we copy steps in useMango™.

useMango™️ allows copying of steps within a test, in between tests or a composite component. Copying steps within a test allows for the reuse of existing steps rather than creating new ones, saving time and effort in test creation. By copying steps from one test to another or to a Composite component, you ensure consistency in testing procedures and reduce the chance of errors.

Copying steps within a test

Copying steps from one test to another

Copying steps within a test:

Follow the instructions below to copy steps within a test.

  1. To copy step(s), simply select the number of steps you want to copy and then click on the copy icon located in the top bar, OR alternatively, press Ctrl+C.
  1. To paste the steps:
Approach 1

To paste the copied steps to a specific location, right-click on the step connector where you want them to be pasted. The steps will then be copied to that designated location.

Approach 2

You can paste the steps by selecting a step before/after which you want to paste the copied steps, and then press Ctrl+V. Choose from options whether to paste above or below the selected step.

Copying steps from one test to another:

Copying steps from a test to a composite component:

Follow the instructions below to copy steps from a test to composite component.

  1. Select the number of steps to be copied from the test and click on the copy icon or press Ctrl+C.
  1. Pasting the steps:
Approach 1

Some Important Notes

  • We can copy steps from a composite component to a test using the same steps as mentioned above.
  • The variables and parameters associated with the copied steps will also be copied to the destination test/composite component as variables.
  • If you copy steps from a loop with table headers assigned, new text variables will be created in place of the table headers for the copied steps.
