Custom Keyword

Custom keywords empower users to craft their unique keywords using a low-code approach. Custom keywords allow users to create their own reusable keywords to address specific testing requirements. Custom keywords offer an end-to-end solution for users seeking to tailor their automated testing experience. Starting from the design phase, users employ a low-code interface to define their own keywords, addressing specific testing scenarios that standard keywords cannot cover effectively.

Custom keywords tailored to specific element types are used across the project. Example: When the user creates a custom keyword for a textbox or button, that keyword is exclusive to the textbox and button across the project.
