# Add Control Flow (Conditional Statements)

Adding a Control Flow (Logical Conditions) allows you to introduce conditional logic inside a test case to control execution based on defined conditions. It helps create dynamic, intelligent, and flexible test scenarios without writing manual code.

Control Flow is useful when certain steps should execute only under specific conditions, such as validating error messages, handling optional flows, retrying actions, or managing dynamic application behaviour.

**To add a control flow:**

* Hover over the desired test step and click the branching icon.
* Choose one of the available options:

  * [**If / Else**](/test-and-quality-management/test-management/add-control-flow-conditional-statements/if-else.md)
  * [**While Loop**<br>](/test-and-quality-management/test-management/add-control-flow-conditional-statements/while-loop.md)
