Adding Post Test Hook or Cleanup Steps

Post-test hooks are steps executed after a test case to ensure that the testing environment is restored to its original state. They help automate the manual cleanup process.

Creating a Variable During Test Case Recording

On many occasions, you may want to use multiple versions of the same test case or template with only subtle variations among all of them. These variations may be related to certain data which is unique to each case.

Unmask "Invisible" Elements in XML

We’ve introduced a new toggle button in both Sofy Lab and Offline Editing that allows you to unmask XML elements marked as "Invisible". With this toggle enabled, you can now view and interact with hidden elements.
