      • Click the Create Issue link while browsing a project.
  2. The Create Issue screen opens. Enter the Test Case details.
  3. Select “Test Case” for Issue Type.

Once a test case is created, you can create test steps within the test case.

A. Pagination: Pagination allows users to navigate through pages. Enter page number in the box and press the ENTER key of keyboard to jump on to a specific page.

B. This feature is added to change order of test steps across pages by mentioning sequence number.

Automation Attributes

Automation Attributes are used to identify Automated Test Cases uniquely. If you import another result that has test cases/test steps, which have been imported previously, then existing test cases will be reused based on these attributes. You can view the Automation Attributes on test case detail page.

If you have enabled Enable Automation Attributes Panel in Test Case/Scenario page under Configuration > Manage QMetry Features > Automation then the panel will be displayed as shown below.
