Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://docs.avoautomation.com/avo-assure/actions/generic.md). # Generic The following categories are available under Generic Actions:

Generic Operations	Description
String Operations	A String represents a sequence of characters used to store and manage text. It can include a combination of letters, numbers, symbols, and spaces.
Interrupt Operations	The Halt Action pauses or stops the execution of a Test step at a specified point. It provides precise control over the script flow.
Date Operations	Date Actions manage date and time functions in a Test step, enabling retrieval, formatting, and date calculations.
Database Operations	Database Operations performs various actions on database like verifying data, exporting data from database and running query.
Mathematical Operations	Mathematical Operations perform arithmetic calculations in a Test step, processing numeric data for computations with values or variables in the script.
File and Folder Operations	File and Folder Actions automate file system tasks like creating, deleting, reading, or modifying files.
Variable Operations	Variable Actions define and manage variables within a Test step. They allow for storing and manipulating dynamic values.
Loops and Condition Operations	Loops and Conditions Actions enable repeated execution and conditional logic within a Test step.
Skip Operations	Skip Actions let test steps bypass parts under certain conditions, optimizing execution by avoiding unnecessary steps.
XML and Json Operations	XML and JSON Actions simplify structured data handling, aiding data exchange and integration.
Other Operations	Other Actions include additional functions not covered under predefined categories.
Orchestration Operations	Orchestration Actions in Avo Assure execute test scripts from external platforms like Selenium, Safal, Karate, and Cucumber, and generate unified execution reports.

--- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.avoautomation.com/avo-assure/actions/generic.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
