Modify or Update Tests

Update existing tests to reflect changes in your application using TestSprite’s interactive in-place editing capabilities.

Overview

TestSprite gives you full control over your automated test cases with powerful in-place editing. Whether you’re watching tests run live or reviewing results days later, you can fine-tune every step to match your exact requirements.

Interactive Step Editing

Click on any step to see a snapshot of that exact moment in your test, then modify it if needed.

Edit Any Interaction

When you select a step, you can:

1. Change the Interaction Type

   Switch between Click, Navigate, Input, Scroll, Assert, or modify the Selector.

   
2. Update Input Values

   Change what text gets entered into form fields.

   
3. Adjust Timeouts

   Fine-tune wait times for slow-loading elements.

   
4. Modify Interaction Element

   Pick a new element on the page if the current one isn’t right.

   

Visual Element Selection

Don’t like the current locator? Simply click any element on the page preview, and TestSprite will prompt you: “Change locator to this element to suit your needs.”

This visual selection means you don’t need to manually write CSS selectors or XPath—just point and click.

Smart Regeneration Options

TestSprite will automatically regenerate the affected steps while preserving your customizations.

After making your edits, choose how TestSprite should handle the changes:

Option	When to Use
Update this step only	Your change is isolated and doesn’t affect subsequent steps
Update this and following steps	Your change impacts the test flow, and later steps need to adapt
