IF Statements for Web Tests
Introduction
An If Statement is a conditional statement that, if proved true, performs a number of steps.
There are certain scenarios where we need to execute some steps only if a certain condition is met.
IF Statements can be nested in other IF Statements.
An IF Statement can cross the boundary of a test case and continue into the next test case.
