Hi! Kirti,

The Web Switch Frame step switches between HTML frames on the web page in Web GUI automation.

The Web Switch Window step is useful when you want to switch between multiple browser windows in Web GUI automation. This basically gives the handle of desired window to perform further activity on that window.
