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.

👉 Scripts should be declared between single quotes (') and must stay in a single line
👉 Always include the reference to the database
👉 SQL commands may depend on the used database
Concordia uses database-js to access databases and files through a SQL-based interface. The supported SQL syntax may vary from one database to another. In case of problems, please see the documentation of the corresponding driver.
MySQL, PostgreSQL, and ADO databases
Normal syntax, like the aforementioned. Access through ADO currently works only on Windows.
JSON and CSV databases
INSERT accepts only JSON objects or arrays as values
Example:
1
When I run the script 'INSERT INTO [MyDB] VALUES { "name": "Mary", "surname": "Jane", "age": 21 }'
Copied!
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
