Conditional statements enable you to control the flow of your Test or component. You use the IF … THEN and ELSE statement to incorporate decision-making in your tests. The IF … THEN statement evaluates whether a condition is true. If the condition is true, the statements following IF … THEN are executed. If condition is not true, the statements
following the ELSE are executed.

The syntax to add an IF … THEN and ELSE statement to your test is:

If [condition] Then
[statement]
Else
[else statement]
End If
