Expand Conversations and Convo Expansion Mode

If you are new to Botium and don’t know about convos, utterances and scripting memory, please read Botium in a nutshell first.

Enable the Expand Conversations option if your Test Set contains utterances files to be merged with the convo files. See this BotiumScript convo:

#me
HELLO_UTT

And this BotiumScript utterances:

HELLO_UTT
hello
hi
what's up

If Expand Conversations is disabled, the literal text HELLO_UTT is sent to the bot (which is most likely not what you want).

If it is enabled, the Convo Expansion Mode comes into play to select the number of utterances to actually send to the bot - all, the first one, or randomly select some of them (see capability).

When having a simple two-step conversation, it is not a big deal to send all the utterances. But when you have more complex convo, the number of possible combinations increments very quick when letting Botium use all of them.

You can find a sample test set for Botium showing these options in action by importing the test set from this URL into Botium.
