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.
