Here’s a video that explains all the steps discussed so far.

The next section explains how you can add steps to test a sample scenario.

**Sample Test Scenario:** We will be using a sample login test scenario using the wordpress app where the user taps on login, enters an email ID and is sent a magic login link.

Step1: To do this, simply click the **Record** option at the top of the test case details page.

Step 2: A new window will appear that has a few options in rows.

Let’s break down each row.

By default, the recorder will be in inspection mode (highlighted in yellow when you hover over any element).

Let’s try interacting with the Wordpress app we just uploaded.

You’d see a new pane appear in the centre.

You’ll notice 3 options appear on top in the same pane:

- Tap

So in this case click on tap and the recorder will perform a tap action in the app. Simultaneously this will generate an NLP statement in your test steps on the left hand side.

**Test step 2:** Enter data into a field

After the tap action you will be navigated into the next screen in the app where you have to enter the email ID in the field provided.

To do this in inspector mode, first click on the email field. Then from the actions choose the enter data option. A box will pop up where you’ll be able to enter the email you want to.

Like the previous step the same actions will be recorded as an NLP step.

If you want to **clear** the value entered, clicking on the clear option after selecting that element in inspector mode will do that for you. And once again since we’re recording the test it will be converted into a test step in NLP.

**Test step 3** Click on next

So first click on the empty test step below the most recently created one in the recorder. From the drop down list select **‘Verify that the current page displays OPEN MAIL’**

Here’s a summary of the steps we discussed so far.

1. How to add steps and create a new element on the go

Learn more about how to add steps manually from the test case details page [here](https://testsigma.com/docs/test-cases/create-steps-recorder/android-apps/add-steps-manually/).

2. How to add steps using existing elements

You can reuse them at any time by choosing the element you want to use/reuse in the Test Case. Simply pick the name of the Element.

3. How to add a simple verification steps

Use the Verify action as used in Test Step 5 in the previous section.

4. How to create multiple elements at once,

Read [this](https://testsigma.com/docs/elements/android-apps/record-multiple-elements/) to learn more.

You can use any of these elements by picking the name and reuse them anywhere in your Test Steps.

Here’s an end-to-end video on how to create elements and add NLP steps manually for android apps

At the top right of your Test Steps page, click on **Run**.

Choose the device you wish to run your tests on, the device configurations, or how you’d like the screenshots captured, etc. You can choose these options based on your preference.

You can also view screenshots of each test step execution as well as watch a video of the entire test run.

Here all the test steps have passed successfully. In case if a test step fails you’ll be able to see the error message provided by clicking on the test step along with the screenshot. You can also check the video recording to see what went wrong in detail.

Here’s an example of a failed test step:

In this particular case we fixed the error by increasing the wait time of the assertion to ensure the app screen loaded completely before checking for the presence of the text.

Once you create a Test Case, you will be redirected to the page where you can add all your Test Steps.

Here’s a video that explains all the steps discussed so far.

The next section explains how you can add steps to test a sample scenario.

Step1: To do this, simply click the **Record** option at the top of the test case details page.

Step 2: A new window will appear that has a few options in rows.

Let’s break down each row.

For this, the Twitter app’s ipa file needs to be uploaded as discussed earlier. Click on **Upload**. Wait for the app to be uploaded.

Once done, click **Record**. Upon clicking **Record**, the Testsigma Mobile Recorder will be launched.

By default, the recorder will be in inspection mode (highlighted in yellow when you hover over any element).

Let’s try interacting with the Twitter app we just uploaded.

You’d see a new pane appear in the centre.

At the top, you will find these options : **Tap, Enter Data and Clear.**

Click on **Tap.**

This will perform a click/tap action and will take you to the next screen on the Twitter app. Consecutively, you will notice that this will also generate a test step in natural language automatically.

**Test Step 2.** Enter some data

Now all you need to do is type in the Name (here, _John Doe_) you wish to enter in the **Enter data** form that appears.

**Test Step 3.** Clear data

You only need to replace the test data part with the actual text you copied, let’s say, _“Customize your experience”_ from the inspector.

Paste this in place of “test data”. Click **Create** and you are done!

Here’s a summary of the steps we discussed so far.

Here’s a video that shows you a sample test run done for the test case we created

From the video, you’d see that the one step failed.

Let’s debug this and try to understand the reason for failure with the help of the suggestion engine.
