| Abort / Continue / Ignore |
What happens after a step fails. See Error handling. |
| Agent |
The AutoTestX Agent: a small Windows program that opens Record, Pick and Watch browsers on the tester’s own computer for a hosted server. |
| Application |
A named system under test (Maximo). Environments link to it. |
| Artifact |
A file a run produces, mainly screenshots |
| Block step |
A step with child steps: If / Else, For each, Repeat, While, Lookup |
| Cleanup |
Steps that always run at the end of a test, pass or fail |
| Component |
A reusable, versioned sequence of steps with parameters, called by a pinned version |
| Data pool |
Single-use records that data-driven rows lease, so concurrent runs never share one |
| Data set |
A reusable table of inputs (also from CSV / Excel) |
| Data-driven |
A test that runs once per row of a data source |
| Degraded / drift |
A step found its element only through a fallback locator; it passes with a warning |
| Deprecated |
A test kept for history that can no longer run or change |
| Draft |
A test (version) that can be edited |
| DSL |
The JSON format every test is stored in |
| Engine |
What runs a test: web (implemented), android, ios |
| Environment |
Where a test runs: variables like baseUrl, plus secrets |
| Expression |
A small formula, e.g. COUNT(lines) > 0 |
| Fingerprint |
Everything recorded about an element, used for fallbacks and drift detection |
| Lookup |
A composite step that chooses values in a lookup/search dialog by their text |
| Organization |
Top level grouping of projects and people |
| Pinned version |
The exact component version a call uses; never “latest” |
| Project |
A team workspace; roles, tests, environments and runs live here |
| Ready |
A reviewed test version, frozen so runs stay repeatable |
| Revision |
A new version of a Ready test, starting as a Draft copy |
| Run |
One execution of a test against an environment |
| Runtime variable |
A value set during a run (Extract, Set variable, HTTP saveAs…) |
| Scope (target) |
Narrows where an element is searched: a frame, or a container such as a grid row by key |
| Secret |
A credential stored per environment; never shown, always masked |
| Soft assertion |
A check that records its failure and lets the test continue, failing the run at the end |
| Strategy |
One way to find an element (testId, role, label, text, css, xpath…) |
| Suite |
A functional area grouping tests (Purchasing) |
| Target |
The ordered list of strategies (plus scope and fingerprint) that identifies a step’s element |
| Template |
Text with {{…}} placeholders, e.g. Order {{poNumber}} |
| Version |
A numbered revision of a test |
| Watch |
Running a test with the browser visible |
