Managing Keywords

When creating a step in a business component, Subject Matter Experts select the required operation to perform. on the application being tested. These operations are also known as keywords, and are derived from built-in methods and properties, as well as user-defined functions associated with the application area.

All of the built-in methods and properties, plus all of the functions in user-defined function libraries, are displayed as keywords in the Keywords pane. The Keywords pane enables you to manage the keywords and select which of them should be available to Subject Matter Experts when creating business components. Only selected built-in keywords are available by default. However, all user-defined keywords are available to Subject Matter Experts.

Note: The Keywords pane is not relevant for scripted components.
