Action Types

Follow

Functionize offers a wide variety of Actions to make testing your site as accurate as possible. 

There are two categories of Actions: Element-based and non-Element-based.

Inserting Actions: Element-based Actions can be added to existing tests through Slider View. Here the element can be selected and associated attributes set. Non-Element-based Actions can be added to existing tests from the Test Details page as well as Slider View.

Editing Actions: The Action Settings for both Element-based and non-Element-based Actions can be viewed and edited in both the Test Details page and Slider View.

Architect Actions: Certain Actions are added automatically by Architect during recording such as Pageinit every time a URL opens or reloads. Some Actions, such as opening the Email Reader Tool or Not on Page, are available to add via Architect during initial recording or Local Edit.

This list contains all Actions available in Functionize as well as the Action Settings available to each one by default.
