# What is the difference between a Scenario and a Step Group?

In Autify, a ***Scenario*** is a set of actions or checks that form the unit of test execution, and each action that makes up a Scenario is called a ***Step***.

A ***Step Group*** is a group of steps that can be reused across multiple Scenarios. For example, by creating a Step Group of login steps, you can efficiently create Scenarios without having to record the same login steps repeatedly.

For more information about Step Groups, please see the following documents.
