Step Parameters

Many Steps in Cycle contain parameters or arguments that specify exactly what the Step's action will be. Parameters need to be customized with information specific to the environment or test requirement. A Step displays the need for a parameter to be customized by including parameter indicator text in the Step's syntax. Examples of parameter indicator text would be:

    <NUMBER>
    "<TEXT>"
    "Image:<IMAGE_FILE_PATH>"

When using a Step that contains parameters, the parameter indicator text must be replaced with an actual appropriate value. The table below shows some common examples of parameter indicators and values.

| Parameter Indicator | Step | Example Usage |
| -------- | -------- | -------- |
| `< NUMBER >` | `I wait < NUMBER > seconds` | `I wait 5 seconds` |
| `< TEXT >` | `I enter "< TEXT >"`| `I enter "Hello World!"` |
| `"Image:< IMAGE_FILE_PATH >"` | `I click "Image:< IMAGE_FILE_PATH >"` | `I click "Image:images/icon.png"` |
