Renaming Statement Labels in the Outline View

You can rename the statement label that is displayed in the Outline view without changing the statement text in the Text Editor.

Manual Tester uses the first few characters of each statement you type in the Text Editor as a label for the statement in the Outline view. You can easily rename the label in the Outline view to a more meaningful name without changing the text of the statement in the Text Editor.

To rename a statement label in the Outline view:

  1. In the Outline view, double-click the statement label you want to change and press Backspace. Manual Tester clears the label.
  2. Type the new label and press Enter.

    Manual Tester changes the label to the text you typed, but leaves the statement in the Text Editor unchanged.

For example, suppose you type the following step in the Text Editor:

In the Card Number field of the Place an Order dialog box, type 555 1212 555 1212.

The label in the Outline view is something like this:

In the Card Number field of the Pl

You can double-click the label in the Outline view and change it to a more meaningful name, such as
