3.5.7 Drawing relational lines when processing branches

If you want to execute a particular step only when judgment conditions are met, you can use a branch by returncode plug-in or branch by property value plug-in. When using such a plug-in, connect the branch-destination component to the plug-in by dragging the branch-destination component to the dotted line under the plug-in.

When the conditions are met, the branch destination step is executed first, followed by the succeeding step. If the conditions are not met, the succeeding step is executed without first executing the branch destination step.

• The connection with the succeeding step is represented by a single-headed arrow.

• The relational line that connects a step executed only when the judgment conditions are met is represented by a double-headed arrow. There cannot be more than one step executed when judgment conditions are met.

• If the judgment conditions are met, the steps are executed in the following order: sample1, branch by returncode plug-in, sample2, and then sample3.

• If the conditions are not met, the steps are executed in the following order: sample1, branch by returncode plug-in, and then sample3.
