Adding Test Steps
Test Steps are used to identify the sequence of actions required to perform a Test Case. Test Steps are an optional feature of the workflow and their availability depends on how Windchill RV&S is configured for your environment. The decision to use Test Steps can be made on the basis of an individual Test Case.
Test Steps can include the following types of information:
• Steps for setting up a test.
• A description of individual test procedures.
• A statement of the expected test results.
The Windchill RV&S client provides full functionality for creating, editing, cutting, copying, and pasting Test Step items. In the Document view, Windchill RV&S allows you to create and edit Test Steps within the embedded Edit Item Details view. You can change the order of Test Steps that are included in a Test Case, and add or remove relationship flags on individual items. However, you cannot copy, cut, or paste across fields.

In the Windchill RV&S client GUI, you can also work with Test Steps within the Edit Item Details view.
