Reference Test Cases and Test Step Reuse
Test case reuse improves reusability and maintainability in test management by reducing redundancy between test cases in projects. Often, the test scenarios require that certain test steps, pre-actions, or post-actions of test cases contain repeated or similar actions performed during a testing cycle. Copying test descriptions between test cases can result in duplications and in difficult maintenance when a wrong or outdated test description appears multiple times in the test case hierarchy.
The following features are available to support test step reuse:
• Reusable test cases–Certain test cases can be marked as reusable, making it easier to find the test cases that are designed for reuse.
• Reference test steps, reusable pre-actions and post-actions–Reuse test steps, pre-actions, and post-actions from other test cases while automatically keeping them synchronized to the original item.
