This action may be used within the following project items: test modules and user-defined actions.
Suppose you are testing a customer live chat service that offers the fastest way to provide customer support on your website. There are two identical windows, one for the client, and the other for the supporter. In your test procedures, you have to switch between the client window and supporter window. This ensures that whatever the client enquires will appear on the supporter window.
