Author a teststep to automate a Mainframes Application
Introduction
This guide provides a detailed description of authoring a Test Case in Avo Assure to automate a mainframes application.
Note: For the ‘Mainframe’ application type, all automation is performed solely in the Test Case authoring phase. The scraping process is not required to automate a mainframe application in Avo Assure.

The user has to click the Design button, and the Design screen will be displayed.
The user has to click the Design Test Steps button, and the Design Test Steps window will be displayed.
The user has to click the "+" Add Test Step icon, and the new test step will be added.
Note: The test step consists of the following:
Element Name: This column will display all the objects present on the corresponding screen.
Operations: A list of every action that may be taken on the object selected in the element name column is provided in the operations column.
