 And The Login form is on screen
 When I enter JohnSmith in the Name edit box
 And I enter no password
 And I click Sign In
 Then I should see 'Hi, John Smith' in the toolbar

Scenario: Scenario2
 Given The tested app is running
 And The Login form is on screen
 When I enter JohnSmith in the Name edit box

    Do you want to skip it always or for some particular condition?

    You can use predefined "@skip" tag for the scenarios or features that you would like to skip and behave will automatically skip testing the scenario or the whole feature

      Does TestComplete use behave. Because, I have used "@skip" tag but still the test not skipped. 
      please find the below screenshot

    Each scenario should test one thing and fail for one particular reason. This means there should be no reason to skip steps.

     

    If there does seem to be a reason you’d want to skip steps conditionally, you probably have an anti-pattern. For instance, you might be trying to test multiple things in one scenario or you might not be in control of the state of your test environment or test data.

     

    The best thing to do here is to fix the root cause. [Gherkin Reference]
