Actions



******************************************************************************



Action is the concept from QTP,using which we can implement the modularity



There are totally 3 three types of Actions:



1.Reuabale action.

2.Non reusbale action.

3.External action

default one is the non resubale action.

******************************************************************************

Non-reusable Action:

The action which can't be called by any other test apart from the one in which it is created.

Reusable Action:

An action which can be called by any number of tests

External Action:



This is a reusable action, which can't be modified in any other test. It can be just called and

used...



******************************************************************************

Calling actions:



Call to copy action:

if we are calling action with these option, the created action we can modify in the called test



Call to existing actions :

if we are calling action with these option, the created action we can't modify in the called test

******************************************************************************

Spliting Actions:

We can Split an action into two actions

SplitAction Types:



Nested Action :

If we split an action with Nested option,created two actions will be depedent to each other



Independent Action :

If we split an action with Indepedent option,created two actions will be indepedent to each other
