Expecting an SMS Detail's Occurrence Steps

The SMS Compound Step is associated with four steps that expect the short message:

  • To be sent

  • To be received

  • To be confirmed

  • To be rejected

These steps test whether the short message transfer enters the specified state within a given timeout. Using one of these steps blocks the test case execution until the desired short message transfer state is reached. If the short message transfer state is not reached within the timeout, the step fails.
