Hi,

What about this:

[Binding]
public class MySteps: Steps
{

Given("I want to create a sales order") ------------Senario 1 - step definition

public void CreateSalesOrder()
{

__CreateSalesOrder();

}

Given("I open the sales order page") ------------Senario 1 - step definition

public void SalesOrderOpened()
{

__SalesOrderOpened();

}

Given("I click the add new order button") ------------Senario 1 - step definition

public void ClickNewButton()
{

__ClickNewButton();

}

Then("a new sales order is created") ------------Senario 1 - step definition

public void OrderCreated()
{

__OrderCreated();

}

public void __CreateOrder()
{

__CreateSalesOrder();

__SalesOrderOpened();

__ClickNewButton();

__OrderCreated();

}

------For scenario 2's first step which would be calling scenario 1 step definitions

[Given("I have created an order")]
public void CreateOrder()
{

__CreateOrder();

}

Hi,

I am afraid that I don't understand what you mean.

Arey You asking about:

1) TestItem on TestComplete project board?
2) Any BDD framework?
3) Project files and their functions?

4) What programming language are You using in TestComplete?

What is the main goal of Your actions?

  Hi,
  Could you please see the example for my enquiry.See the example below for the 2 scenarios, the first scenario have step definition but scenario 2 is calling the step definition for scenario 1 in other to fulfil Feature steps:Given I have created an order.How can i achieve this with TestComplete on JScript.
  
  Scenario: 1 I create new sale
  Given I want to create a sales order
  When I open the sales order page
  Then a new sales order is created
  "
  Scenario: 2 I add another sale
  Given I have created an order
  When I add a sales order line
  Then the order total is updated
  
  The step definitions for Scenario 1 that within the method for the first scenario 2 file step[Given I have created an order] for scenario 2,would be executed .How can i acnhieve in TestComplete?
  
  [Binding]
  public class MySteps: Steps
  {
  [Given("I have created an order")]
  
  public void CreateOrder()
  {
  Given("I want to create a sales order");
  
  Given("I open the sales order page");
  
  Given("I click the add new order button");
  
  Then("a new sales order is created");
  }
