Question

A Question is a kind of Performable in which an Actor gets or reads some information from the application, ideally in such a way that does not change the application's state. Similar to Actions, questions should be as small in their scope as possible, to make them as reusable and composable as possible. In code, questions get a value and return it to the consuming logic, so they will always implement one of IPerformableWithResult<TResult> or its non-generic counterpart IPerformableWithResult.

In an application of Screenplay which controls a web browser, a questions might represent reading the text from a single HTML element, or reading the enabled/disabled state of a button. To create higher-level questions with broader scope, compose them with Tasks.

Generally, the logic of questions interacts directly with the actor's Abilities in order to provide the functionality required to get the requested information.
