action, built-in

An action that is packaged with TestArchitect and available for use in your test modules and user-defined actions. TestArchitect includes a library of hundreds of built-in actions that, functionally, can be roughly grouped into three categories:

• System actions

  Actions that interact with the system of the AUT host, such as those that work with user input (e.g., type, click) , system resources (get clipboard), or the host file system (copy file).

• Test Support actions

  Includes automation control actions, like if and sleep, and declaratory actions (argument, test case, test objective).

• User Interface actions

  Actual automation actions, such as enter and select menu item.
