Custom Java Test Steps

This section explains how to create a custom Java test step and use it in the model editor.

This type of test step is created by extending an abstract base class that that is provided in the Lisa.jar. A custom Java test step is faster and easier than the native test step because it does not require you to build a user interface for the Test Manager. Instead, one is auto-generated for you by invoking the calls on this class. This efficiency comes at the cost of control over how the user interacts with your test step at the time the test is being authored. Most parameters are rendered in an appropriate manner, but some parameters could require a customized editor. For those needs, consider creating a native test step.
