TestStep (thucydides-core 0.9.208 API)

java.lang.Object
- net.thucydides.core.model.TestStep

```
public class TestStep
extends Object
```
An acceptance test run is made up of test steps. Test steps can be either concrete steps or groups of steps. Each concrete step should represent an action by the user, and (generally) an expected outcome. A test step is described by a narrative-style phrase (e.g. "the user clicks on the 'Search' button', "the user fills in the registration form', etc.). A screenshot is stored for each step.
