How to add description for modules

Post by Deepa_8746 » Mon Feb 15, 2016 4:34 am

Hi,

In our project, we use module that have many variables with specific expected values for the same.
For the ease of use of testers, is it possible in any way to add a description of the modules.

Eg: What action it performs and what is the exact expected values of the variables to be specified for binding.

Hi,

As far as I know, the only module-based description can be added via XMLDoc Summary:

Or you could just name your modules appropriately so the name shows exactly what the module does. But if you make your modules really big, this won't work as well (not to mention that big modules are harder to maintain).

My modules are very small, and do ONE thing each...

"Click_OKButton.rxrec" => Clicks the OK button...
"Enter_Password" => Enters the password in the Password field with the variable Password...

Then you just have to drag-and-drop the modules in your test cases the way they need to be and your modules are the steps and the test cases are test cases...
Shortcuts usually aren't...
