thank you for helping please.

Can I suggest putting the xpaths of the components into a List and then randomly selecting one of them. Or, create a CASE block, one for each component, based on a number and then randomly have one of the pathways selected.

i was thinking something like this:

Random rand = new Random();
upperLimit = 4;
icnt = rand.nextInt(upperLimit);

switch (icnt)
{
   	case 0:
		WebUI.click(findTestObject('Inbox'))
		break;
	case 1:
		WebUI.click(findTestObject('LC 4/27'))
		break;
	case 2:
		WebUI.click(findTestObject('DC 2/13'))
		break;
	case 3:
		WebUI.click(findTestObject('BG 1/5'))
		break;
	default:
		WebUI.comment("Whoops")
		break;
}

You would put this code where you want to click on the particular menu item. If you do your testing from the Manual tab, then insert some comment that you can search for in the Script tab at the appropriate location.

hope this works for me

hello @ferrariklersone
Add the xpath information of your buttons to a list. I can suggest you a code process like the one below.

List<TestObjects> randomObjects = Arrays.asList(findTestObject('Path/To/TestObject1'), findTestObject('Path/To/TestObject2'), findTestObject('Path/To/TestObject3'))

Random rand = new Random()String  
randomPath = randomObjects.get(rand.nextInt(randomObjects.size()))WebUI.click(findTestObject(randomPath))
