Entering test case steps in grid view

Use grid view to enter test case steps, expected results, and comments in rows and columns.

1. Click the Steps tab when you are adding or editing a test case.

2. Click Grid.

3. Click the Add button and select Add Step to add a step row.

4. Click a cell in the Step column and enter instructions for performing the action.

Tip: You can use test variant field codes in test case fields and steps. When you generate test runs, field codes are replaced with the variant values. For example, if you have an Operating System variant with a %Z_OSVARIANT% field code and the Windows value is used to generate test runs, the field code is replaced with Windows in the test run. To add a variant field code, click the field or step, click the Insert Variant button , and choose the field code to add.

5. Click a cell in the Expected Result column and enter the expected results for the corresponding step.

To add additional expected result lines in a step, select the step, click the Add button, and select Add Expected Result. You may want to enter each result on a separate line if the step has more than one expected result. If an issue occurs during the test, problem statements can be entered in the test run for each expected result.

6. Select a step or expected result and click the Insert Attachment button to add a file attachment, such as a screenshot. See Adding attachments to test case steps.

7. To enter additional test steps, repeat steps 3 - 6.

8. Click the Add button and select Add Comment to add a comment that provides additional information about a step or expected result.

If detail grid view is used to generate test runs, you can also add step notes, which are notes associated with a specific step. To add a step note, select a step, click the Add button, and then select Add Step Note.

9. Click Add shared steps to add steps from another test case. See Adding shared steps from other test cases.

All steps from the shared test case are included when test runs are generated from the test case.

10. Select a row and click Delete to delete it.

11. Save the test case.
