When the same sequence of steps — a login flow, an onboarding tap-through, a permissions screen
— shows up in more than one scenario, author those steps once and call them from anywhere.
The reusable scenario is called a Common Scenario.
When to create one
- The same action sequence repeats across two or more scenarios.
- The steps change often, and you want one place to update them.
- Typical examples: login, signup, splash and tutorial walkthroughs, permission grants.
Create a Common Scenario #
- Build the repeated steps as a regular scenario first.
- Convert that scenario into a Common Scenario in one of two ways:
- Right-click the scenario and select Move to Common Scenario.
- Drag the scenario into the Common Scenario panel.
Constraints #
- A Common Scenario can only be called from scenarios in the same folder.
- A scenario that already calls another Common Scenario cannot itself be converted into one.
To see how a Common Scenario gets called from another scenario, check the examples below.
Pick the one closest to what you’re testing.
- Mobile app scenario examples — YouTube and other mobile app flows
- Web page scenario examples — Google search and landing-page UI checks
