Tip

A shortcut to using the generic InvokePlugin workflow operation is to drag the specific plugin operation you want to invoke from the Plugin Operations pane in the lower-right-hand side onto the workflow editor. In this case the Plugin Name and Plugin Operation will be pre-selected.

InvokeTest

The InvokeTest step provides the ability to invoke a group of tests as defined by the strategy for that environment, instance, and stream. This group can be subsetted by specifying specific Test Type, Test Set, and/or Test Definition. Drag the InvokeTest workflow operation onto the workflow editor, and configure its parameters as depicted in the table below.

...


You can add one or more Else If conditions to the If workflow operation by clicking the Else If button. Similarly, you can add an Else condition to the If workflow operation by click the Else button. You can then drag other workflow operations or plugin operations inside of the If/Else blocks of the If workflow operation.
To edit the If condition portion either click on the  icon for the If workflow operation, or click on the icon in the upper-right-hand side of the first condition block. To edit an Else If condition click on the  icon in the upper-right-hand side of the condition block.

While
