Adding shared steps from other test cases
You can share steps between test cases, making it easy to use a set of steps in multiple tests and reduce maintenance effort when steps change. When you add shared steps, a hyperlink to the shared test case is added to the test case steps. When manual test runs are generated, all steps from the shared test case and any attachments are included in the manual test runs.
By default, a link is created between the test cases when you add shared steps. The link is displayed on the test case
