Flows

With Scriptless Web, you can create and maintain alternative versions of a test. Each version is called a test flow. When you create a flow, you can enable or disable steps or change the sequence of steps.

For a quick overview of how to work with flows, watch this short video. Detailed steps follow.

After you create a test, you can add one or more test flows. This procedure assumes that you have an existing test to work with.
