Creating Reference or Copy Test Steps
To create a reference or copy test step, drag-and-drop test steps from other test cases into the test case editor page. Once dropped, you can choose between creating a copy or a reference of the original test step.
Steps can also be added with the Add Steps! button located on the right-hand panel. This adds all steps of the selected test case into the edited test case. Using the Add Steps button has the following rules:
• If using CTRL+click to select multiple steps only the selected steps are added.
• If no steps are selected, then all steps are added.
• By default, the steps are added to the end of the step list. To add steps into the middle of the list, start editing a test step there, and the steps are added below the step which is being edited.
• The Add Steps! button and the drag-and-drop action ask for confirmation if some or all of the steps have already been added. Users can only add those steps which have not already been added.
• Circular references are not allowed. This means that a test case cannot reuse its own step. If you attempt to create a circular reference, an error displays. The step causing the circular reference must be manually removed.
