   • Set assertions and validations

2. Step Organization

   • Drag-and-drop reordering
   • Grouping related steps
   • Snippet integration
   • Conditional logic

​

Step Configuration

1. Selector Strategy Priority hierarchy for element selection:

   1. Element ID
   2. Data test ID
   3. XPath selectors Best practices:
   • Avoid brittle position-based selectors
   • Utilize unique, stable attributes
   • Consider long-term maintainability
   • Document selector rationale

2. Action Configuration

   • Input parameters
   • Wait conditions
   • Validation rules
   • Error handling
