Editing Test Step Test Cases

In the Test Steps Designer application, each test case has the following tab pages that you can use to change or further specify the test case:

  • Header

    Edit general properties and settings, such as the version, version title, testing mode, status, priority, owner, strict step sequence, duration, description, prerequisites, or exit criteria. Wherever you can enter a long text, you can use the parameters you defined in the Test Steps Parameters app.

    You can edit multiple test cases at once with the mass update function.

  • Test Steps

    Each step is defined with a description, instruction, and expected result. Wherever you can enter a long text, you can use the parameters you defined in Test Steps Parameters. If the test case is assigned to Solution Documentation, you can add an executable. You can also do the following:
    • Create substeps

    • Set a flag that the testers must provide evidence for certain steps (for example, by attaching a screenshot)

    • Set additional test result attributes

      You can specify for which test step a result attribute is relevant, whether the result attribute is mandatory, and for which step it is mandatory. You can set result attributes to Inactive if they are not used anymore. You can also define result attributes as Public to make them visible in Test Sequences. Public result attributes are also shown as Previous Results from Test Sequence in the My Test Executions app.

    • Upload an attachment for the step. You can use the drag and drop function to upload files and images and attach them to the step.

  • Attachments

    You can upload images or document files on this tab page.

  • Notes

    You can add notes.

  • Where-Used (only relevant if you are using template test cases)

    In a template test case, you see the test cases derived from the template.

    In a test case derived from a template, you see the related template.

  • Change Log

    You see the changes that were made for the test case.

Adding New Solution Documentation Content to Test Steps

If the Solution Documentation content has been changed, you can display the changed Solution Documentation content to update the test case. For example, if new process steps have been added, you can create new test steps accordingly.

To display the Solution Documentation content, on the Test Steps tab page, choose Add from SolDoc and select the new Solution Documentation content that you want to use in the test case.
