Actions

Abstract actions recognized through Natural Language Processing
Concordia Language contains a set of meta-actions that can be used by different testing frameworks for generating test scripts. Concordia Compiler uses Intent Recognition (yes, like chatbots do) to understand sentences and extract the desired action to perform. Later these actions are sent to testing frameworks for conversion into commands.
Concordia actions are recognized in Variants, Test Cases, and Test Events.
The following list presents the available actions and gives some examples on how to use them in sentences. We expect that you do not have to memorize them but, instead, see the things you can do. Try to write the sentences the way you speak, using first person singular (I) . When there is a UI Element in the sentence, embrace it with { and }, like {this}. The compiler will tell you whether it cannot understand some sentence you wrote. If you think it should have understood something, please tell us. We'll try to augment the compiler's vocabulary to understand it the next time.

SQL Syntax

Concordia Compiler uses database-js to access databases and files through SQL-like commands. The supported SQL syntax may vary from one database to another. Please see the documentation of the corresponding driver.
JSON and CSV as databases: INSERT accepts JSON objects or arrays as values. Example:
When I run the script 'INSERT INTO [MyDB] VALUES { "name": "Mary", "surname": "Jane", "age": 21 }'
Excel and Firebase databases: Syntax similar to JSON and CSV databases. However, it has some limitations, as pointed out in its documentation :
SQL commands are limited to SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT and DELETE. WHERE works well. JOINs are not allowed. GROUP BY is not supported. LIMIT and OFFSET are combined into a single LIMIT syntax: LIMIT [offset,]number
INI databases: INSERT and DELETE are not supported yet by database-js-ini. UPDATE example:
When I run the script 'UPDATE [MyDB] SET age = 22 WHERE name = "Mary"'
SQLite databases: Currently database-js-sqlite uses sql.js that doesn't persist the changes in the file (only in memory).
