Test business logic and background processes by performing operations on the server.

Server test steps mimic non-interactive actions such as impersonating users, submitting or
saving records, running server-side script, or making REST calls. Since server test steps run
directly on the server, they do not require a client test runner. For more information about the
server test steps, see [Server category](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/xvdvx6NRpgm_nUCCuJQv0g#test-steps-server-category "Perform server-side operations. For example, query and update a record, impersonate a user, or run a server-side script.").
* **[REST test steps](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/YYuP40RasZe4j5Ftns1fIw)**   
  Test custom inbound web services and backwards compatibility by making REST calls.
