Steps

Steps are the building blocks of test cases. Each step is a natural language instruction that the AI executes.

Step Structure

A step consists of:

Field	Required	Description
Description	Yes	What to do (e.g., "Click the login button")
Data	No	Input value for the step
Wait Until	No	Condition to verify before next step
Bypass Cache	No	Force AI execution (skip cache)

Writing Effective Steps

Be Specific

❌ "Click button"
✅ "Click the 'Add to Cart' button"

Describe the Target Element

❌ "Enter text"
✅ "Enter email in the login form email field"

Include Context When Needed

❌ "Click submit"
✅ "Click the 'Submit Order' button in the checkout form"

Step Examples

Click Actions

Click the "Sign In" button in the header
Click on the first product in the list
Click the checkbox to accept terms

Input Actions

Enter the email address in the email field
Type "Hello World" in the message textarea
Enter the search query in the search box

Navigation

Navigate to the Settings page
Click the "Account" link in the sidebar
Go back to the previous page

Waiting

Wait for the loading spinner to disappear
Wait until the success message is visible
Wait for the page to finish loading

Data Field

The data field provides input values for steps that require them:

Step: Enter the email address in the email field
Data: test@example.com

Dynamic Data

Use placeholders for dynamic values:

• {{run.email}} - generates a unique email per test
• {{run.fullName}} - generates a random name
• {{global.email}} - shared across all tests in an execution

See Dynamic Placeholders for all options.

Wait Until Field

waitUntil makes the AI wait for a condition after executing the step:

Step: Click the "Submit" button
Wait Until: Success message is displayed

When to Use Wait Until

• After clicking buttons that trigger API calls
• After navigation to wait for page load
• When waiting for animations or loading states

Bypass Cache

Bug0 caches successful step executions for faster reruns. Enable "Bypass Cache" to:

• Force the AI to re-execute the step
• Debug when cached actions no longer work
• Test after significant UI changes

Step Order

Steps execute sequentially from top to bottom. Reorder by:

1. Dragging steps in the editor
2. Steps automatically renumber

Adding Steps

From the Editor

1. Click Add Step below the last step
2. Enter the step description
3. Optionally add data and wait condition

From AI Generation

1. Use "Generate from Video" or "Generate from Text"
2. AI creates multiple steps automatically
3. Review and edit as needed

Editing Steps

Click on any step field to edit:

• Description - What the step does
• Data - Input value
• Wait Until - Post-step condition
• Bypass Cache - Toggle caching

Changes auto-save after a short delay.

Deleting Steps

1. Hover over the step
2. Click the trash icon
3. Step is removed immediately

Best Practices

• One action per step - "Click login AND enter email" should be two steps
• Be descriptive - Help the AI find the right element
• Use wait conditions - For async operations
• Test incrementally - Run after adding each step to verify
• Use dynamic data - Avoid hardcoded values when possible
