Work with test versions

Scriptless Mobile saves all versions of a test. In the Scriptless MobileUI, a test version is called a snapshot. You can select and open any version in the test editor. In addition, you can save any opened version as the latest version of the test.

When you open a test snapshot in a tab in the test editor, the test version or snapshot number is displayed as part of the test title. For example, if you open snapshot number one, the title of the test is shown as the <test name> (Snapshot -1). For the current or latest version, the test title does not include the snapshot number. This naming convention helps you easily identify the test version you are looking at.

You can add comments to a test snapshot any time and later refer to these comments to identify the test snapshot and, if needed, revert to it.

Snapshots are beneficial when multiple users collaborate on tests. Scriptless Mobile saves each user's updates as snapshots that facilitate viewing updates saved in various snapshots at any given time.

Moving a test to a new location moves the test along with all its snapshots to the new location. Copying a test to a new location moves only the most current snapshot (the latest version) to the new location.
