# If / Else
If / Else enables a test case to follow different execution paths depending on whether a specified condition evaluates to true or false, allowing dynamic and logic-based test execution.
If certain steps need to be executed only when a condition is true (for example, login is successful), add them under the **If** section.\
If the condition is false, alternative steps can be added under the **Else** section.
* Click **"If / Else"** to add a conditional block in the test case.
* **Set Condition for If -**Choose how to set the condition:
* **Element**
* **Parameter**
* **Element -**Choose **"Element"** when the condition depends on an object (UI element, text, etc.) on the screen.
* From the dropdown, select the required option:
* Conditions (is visible, is not visible)
* Actions
* Interactions(click, type, focus..)
* **Example:**\
To check if the **"Login Successful"** message is visible after clicking the login button:
* If the message is visible → condition is true
* If not → condition is false
* Select the required "**Object"** (stored using XPath / Playwright).
* Click "**Save"** to apply the condition.
* **Parameter** - Choose **"Parameter"** when the condition depends on a value.
* From the **1st dropdown**, choose an existing parameter OR Click "**Create"** to add a new parameter:
* Enter Name (e.g., login\_status)
* Enter Value (e.g., success)
* Select Type (String, Number, etc.)
* Click **Create**
* From the **2nd dropdown**, select the comparison type\
(equals, not equals, greater than, less than, contains, etc.)
* Enter the comparison value (e.g., success)
* **Example:**\
To check if the login status is successful:
* If login\_status = success → condition is true
* If login\_status ≠ success → condition is false
* Click "**Save"** to apply the condition.
* **If (True Condition Steps)-**Add the required steps under **If**.
* These steps execute only when the condition is true.
* **Else**
* Add the required steps inside the "**Else"** section.
* These steps execute only when the **If condition evaluates to false**.
* **Example:**\
If login is not successful:
* Show error message
* Retry login
* Capture screenshot
* If needed, update or modify the description
* Click **"Save"** after changing description
* **Else (False Condition Steps)-**Add the required steps inside the **Else** section.
* These steps execute only when the condition evaluates to false.
* **End If**
* **End If** marks the end of the If / Else condition.
* It closes the conditional block and completes the flow.
* If needed, update or modify the description
* Click **"Save"** after changing description
* **Example Flow**
* If login is successful:
* Perform dashboard actions
* Else:
* Show error and stop execution
* After **End If**:
* Continue with remaining test steps
