 * The POM test cases don’t have a verbose mode convention. If desired, a print statement with the breadcrumbs variable could be added to a test case.
-=== Implementation ===
+'''Implementation'''
-* Pre-POM test cases use string variables named tc_breadcrumbs* and build breadcrumbs them by concatenating a new value to a “parent”.  (The tc_ prefix distinguishes it from the breadcrumb element that often appears in the page header.)

-* In POM a TestCastBreadcrumbs object is defined in the testcase_breadcrumbs module. which stores them as a list of  (type, value) pairs and treating them like a LIFO stack.  The breadcrumbs are primarily updated by an add(type, value) method.  A __str__ method formats the list into a string.  The SavedExceptions data type contains a breadcrumbs attribute.  Existing POM test cases use a SavedException object, typically named ‘ex’, to maintain breadcrumbs.
+The following example sets the breadcrumbs which contains the current options (user, application, etc) and the current add-on being processed in a list. The next statement optionally prints the breadcrumbs to the console based on the verbosity level.<br>

+     f = '%s, add-on #%s'

+     if CONSOLE_TRACE &gt;= 2: print tc_breadcrumbs_addon

+The '''POM test cases''' use TestCastBreadcrumbs object that's defined in the testcase_breadcrumbs module which stores a list of (type, value) pairs, treating them like a LIFO stack. The breadcrumbs are primarily updated by an add(type, value) method. A __str__ method formats the list into a string. <br>
+The SavedExceptions data type contains a breadcrumbs attribute.&nbsp; POM test cases typically use breadcrumbs attribute that's inside a SavedExceptions object, typically named ''ex''.<br>
+  for addon_index in range(1, max_addons + 1):
+     ex.breadcrumbs.add('add-on', '#%d'&nbsp;% addon_index)
+     if CONSOLE_TRACE &gt;= 2: print ex.breadcrumbs
+Although the example has a conditional print, most POM test cases haven't implemented a verbosity.
