Mapping Extensions

Mapping Extensions via Test Detail Page or Slider View

Once the extension is created, it must be mapped to an action to be used. Extensions can be mapped to an Action via the Test Detail page or Slider View.

There are 2 types of mappings and both may be used on the same action:

• Prehook, which occurs before the action. If you want to override an input value, the Prehook must be used.
• Posthook, which occurs after the action. If you want to collect data that may appear such as randomly generated data, the Posthook must be used.
