Creating test cases from issues

If you work with test cases in Helix ALM, you can create test cases from issues. The issue information is copied to the test case so users can review the details and add information to complete the test case details.

1. Click Create Test Case in the Edit Issue dialog box.

The Add Test Case dialog box opens. Issue information is added to the following fields by default:

Summary—Includes the issue number and summary.
Steps tab—Includes the steps to reproduce.
Files tab—Includes file and source control attachments.

Note: Depending on project configuration, additional information may be copied from the issue. See Configuring item mapping rules.

2. Make any changes.

3. Click Add to save the test case and add it to the project.

You can also click Apply to save the test case and continue working on it. Click OK when you finish.

You may be prompted to link the test case with the related issue. Click Add Link to create a link or Do Not Link if you do not want to create a link. See Working with Related Items.

Tip: Depending on user options, the Add Test Case dialog box may remain open after the test case is added. Click Cancel to close it. You can change the Add Multiple Test Cases user option to automatically close the dialog box after adding a new test case. See Setting add multiple items options.
