What is a test step

A test step is made of three main components used to dermine the actions Chainsaw will perform when executing the step.

  1. The try statement (required)
  2. The catch statement (optional)
  3. The finally statement (optional)

Reference documentation

The full structure of the TestStep is documented here.
