# Step Group

A Step Group is a reusable set of [Test Steps](/getting-started/terminology.md). Build a login, consent, or setup journey once, then drop the group into other Flows so those paths stay in sync.

## When to use it

* Share login, MFA, or cookie consent across many Flows.
* Update the group once when the shared journey changes.
* Prefer a Step Group when you need the same *steps*. Prefer [DoesQA Run](/test-steps/express/doesqa-run.md) when you need to share a live *session* into child Runs.

For a full walkthrough, see [Reuse steps with Step Groups](/better-coverage/reuse-steps-with-step-groups.md).
