Overview of Test Case Sharing
QMetry Test Management encourages users to maximize efficiency in managing tests. It provides different ways to reuse test cases, which saves the time of testers and makes information maintenance easier for testers. The following is a summary of the options that users can use in the same project.
Reusing Shareable Test Cases: Shareable Test cases are set of "Shareable Steps" that can be reused in other Test cases.
Copying Test Steps: Create a duplicate copy of step into the same test case. This is a one-time copy and paste of test steps.
Copying Test Cases: A one-time copy and paste of bulk test case(s). The test cases can be pasted into the same project and across projects.
Moving Test Cases: The test cases can be moved into the same project and across projects.
Shareable Test Cases
QMetry allows you to create Shareable Test Cases and reuse these Shareable Test Cases into another test case, i.e. reusing test cases. A shareable test case is used in different other tests within the same project to avoid creation of repeated test steps across test cases.
...
Create Shareable Test Cases
In this example, we will show you how to add shareable test case and then reuse it in another test case. You can create shareable test cases using existing test steps.
Once you create a test case with test steps, open the test case details page.
Go to the Test Steps section.
...
The Show Test Cases with Shareable Test Case filter is added on to the test case tree to let users see test cases to which shareable test cases are linked into it.
Use Case: Testers want a quick way to see test cases that contain shareable test cases linked to them. The filter allows users to get such a list of test cases promptly instead of checking individual test cases for the shareable test cases attached to them.
...
On the Test Execution screen, you can view the Shareable Step details. The Shareable Steps can be identified by the icon to open it in a separate tab. On hovering the icon, it displays the Entity Key for the test step. When you run a test, you can either mark the whole test case as passed or failed , or mark each step individually.
...
Copying Test Steps
QMetry allows you to copy and paste test steps within the same test case.
Copy / Paste test steps within the same test case
Go to the Test Steps section and click Edit. You can now view '+' icon and cog icon for steps.
Click on the Con icon for the step that you want to create a copy of, and select Duplicate Row.
It will create a copy of the existing step and add it to the test steps.
...
Copying Bulk Test Cases
Users can copy test cases into the same project or across projects. This function works as a one-time copy so that the duplicate sets of test case(s) act independently going forward. In other words, after the copy and paste, any changes performed on the original test case will not be reflected in the test case's copy.
Pre-requisite: The destination project should have the required user-defined fields that are used in the source project.
Test Cases can be copied to the destination folder or a the root folder of the destination project.
...
To copy test cases from one project to another project or the same project, perform the following steps.
Select the project from which you will copy a test case. Go to the Test Cases module, click on the Con icon, and select Bulk Operations.
...
Project: You can copy test cases within the same project and across projects. Select the destination Project/folder path you want to copy the selected selected test cases to.
Owner: If the test cases are being copied to another project, then you can select the Owner of the test cases in the destination project. The Owner list is populated as per the Project selection above.
Folder: Select the folder in which you want to copy the selected test cases. The Destination Path is displayed according to the Folder selection.
...
Click Copy.
The confirmation message appears.
Moving Bulk Test Cases
The process is same as Bulk Copy except the version selection. Test Assets will be moved with all its existing versions.
...
On the test case list view, apply the filter to view only Shareable and the shareable test cases will be listed on the screen.
...
4. Expand each Parameter Combination to view the test steps under it.
The parameter values for sharable shareable steps are displayed as per the data grid mapping done for the main test case using the shareable steps.
