Scenario editor

Build a single-path Flow as plain-language sentences in the Scenario editor.

The Scenario editor turns each Test Step into a plain-language sentence. New Flows open here so you can get a first success without learning the canvas first.

The Scenario editor and the Flow Builder share the same Test Steps. Switching tabs does not start a new Flow.

Scenario editor with a short first Flow

What you can do here

  • Read and edit steps as sentences, such as Open, Touch, and Check

  • Change Values and Element names by clicking parts of the sentence

  • Add the next step with What's the next test step?

  • Reorder steps in the list

  • Run or preview the Flow from the toolbar

  • Switch to the Flow tab to see the same steps in the Flow Builder

Open the Scenario editor

1

Open or create a Flow

Open a Flow from Flows, or create a Flow.

2

Stay on the Scenario tab

Stay on the Scenario tab. That is the default for a new Flow.

The Scenario tab stays available while the Flow is a single path. When you add Flow Branches in the Flow Builder, continue editing on the Flow tab.

Edit a sentence

  1. Click the part of the sentence you want to change, such as a URL, Element name, or Value.

  2. Choose or type the new value.

  3. Changes save as you work.

Use What's the next test step? at the end of the list to add the next step. The picker suggests steps that fit the sentence you are building.

Run from the Scenario editor

Use the toolbar to run or preview the Flow while you edit. Results open the same way as from the Flow Builder. See Understand your results.

Prefer the Flow Builder when

You want a single path written as sentences

You need Flow Branches or a multi-path design

You are new to DoesQA

For a first walkthrough that starts here and continues in the Flow Builder, see Create and run your first Flow.

Pro tip: Build the happy path as sentences first. Switch to the Flow Builder when you want branches, Step Groups, or a clearer layout of a longer Flow.
