Editing a Test Case
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.
-
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).
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.
-
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.
-
To edit a page, click the Page name row link in the Pages Defined section table on the Pages panel. This causes the Edit Page dialog box form to pop up, which allows you to make changes to fields, then click an Edit Page button to save those changes. The Edit Page 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 a Page to a Test Case.
-
After making the desired changes to fields on any of the three panels, navigate to the Pages panel, then click the Save Test Case button. Note that this button only appears on the Pages panel.
The Edit Test Case screen closes, and the Test Cases screen displays a system response message confirming your success in updating the test case: 'Test case successfully updated' at the top, right corner of the screen.
