Instead of executing every test step sequentially, conditional testing enables tests to follow different execution paths based on predefined rules, improving flexibility and accuracy. ### Key Aspects of Conditional Testing * **Conditional Execution:** Run specific test steps only if certain conditions are met. * **Decision-Based Flow:** Test cases can branch into multiple logical paths (e.g., IF-ELSE conditions). * **Data-Driven Decisions:** Conditions can be based on input data, API responses, or test variables. * **Optimised Test Runs:** Reduces unnecessary test execution by skipping irrelevant steps. By implementing Conditional Testing in SimplifyQA, teams can create intelligent, adaptive test cases that accurately simulate real-world usage scenarios, leading to more efficient and effective test automation. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.simplifyqa.ai/introduction-to-test-management-in-simplifyqa/conditional-statements.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
