Browser actions are clip elements that specify a single action for SOASTA Conductor to execute in a browser. Common actions include clicking on links and typing in inputs. Browser actions are added to a Test Clip through recording or by adding the action manually through the Clip Editor.

When a browser action has been added to a Test Clip, it appears as a clip element in the Clip Editor.

Browser actions are edited in the properties pane of the Clip Editor when a browser action is selected and the “Selected: <browser action name>” tab is chosen.

The properties pane of the Clip Editor can be made larger by clicking on the Maximize Lower Pane button.

The browser action editor consists of three parts, the Elements and Properties outline; the middle pane, which contains Inputs and Information; and a reference panel that shows reference information pertaining to the selected action.

When the top-level browser action item is selected in the Elements and Properties outline, general information about the browser action is shown. This is where a description can be entered about the particular action and repetition can be set.

When Inputs are selected in the outline, the inputs for the selected action are shown and can be edited.

Waits, Outputs, Validations and Property Sets, and Custom Properties can all be added in the Browser Action editor.
