Editing a Test Case

Link to Editing a Test Case copied to clipboard

To make changes to an existing test case, follow this procedure. Any Test Case link on the Test Cases screen takes you to an Edit Test Case screen which is the 3-panel screen similar to the screens from creating a new test case. The same Test Case Name link is displayed in the Test Case column of the Test Runs screen.

  1. On the Test Cases page, expand the Actions drop-down for the test case you want to edit, and click Edit test case option (or from the Actions column of the Test Runs table on either the Test Runs or Home screens).

    Clicking the Name column link

    The Edit Test Case: Details (Step 1 of 3) screen appears, with the Details panel initially displayed by default. You are now able to edit existing field values by altering text field entries and menu selections on each panel, then on the Pages panel, click the Save Test Case button to save the edits you make.

    Example of the result of clicking a Test Case link on the Test Cases screen - the Edit Test Case 3-panel wizard appears, with the Details panel open, allowing you to edit fields

  2. On the Edit Test Case screen, click the desired step tab link to navigate to each panel as necessary to make changes to the existing selections and entries as desired (or use the Next button at the bottom of each panel to progress to the next).

  • To edit the details, be aware that the Next button at the bottom of the panel, or the tab links for either Common Components or Pages allow you to navigate away from the panel after making edits, and should you navigate back to the Details panel, those edits will remain. However, you must navigate to the Pages panel and click the Save Test Case button in order for those edits to become effective. For more information about editing the fields in the Details panel, see Adding Test Case Details.

  • To edit a component, click the Component row link in the Components Defined section table on the Common Components panel. This causes the Edit Component dialog box form to pop up, which allows you to make changes to fields, then click an Edit Component button to save those changes. The Edit Component dialog box closes and a confirmation message appears at the top, right of the Edit Test Case screen to indicate editing success. Additionally, you can delete, reorder, or add components as part of the editing process. For more information, see Adding Common Components.
