Starts a Steps Capture session, in which you navigate your application and perform user actions as you would in a regular run session. Sprinter captures each user action, converts it to a step, and adds it after the selected step in the steps grid.

Enables you to import steps from an Excel or CSV file.

The imported file should comply with the following guidelines:

• The table must be located in the workbook's first sheet.

• The steps must be declared in a table structure, with the headers on the top and the step data beneath them.

• The table's headers must match the columns in the Steps pane. For CSV files, make sure the header row is separated from the data row with a character defined as a common separator in the machine's locale.

• The standard columns (Name, Description, Expected Result) can have either an English or local language title.

• When importing steps from a CSV file in a non-English operating system in which the separator is not a comma, all data appears in a single column. For example, in German Windows 7, the default separator, a semicolon, is ignored.
  Workaround: Change the default separator in your locale to a comma. Select Control Panel > Regional and Language > Additional Settings. Change the List separator value to a comma.

• User defined (UDF) column names should be identical to the field's label in ALM Customization.

Opens the Calling external tests, which enables you to insert a call to an external Application Lifecycle Management test as a step in your test. When you run your test, the steps of the external test are displayed in the Steps sidebar.
