Managing Attachments

Introduction

Attachments enable you to add additional information relevant to specific test assets. They are managed under the Attachment tab (for requirements, test cases, issues, and test suites) and can be accessed from the detail/edit page.

Attachments are stored at the entity level, rather than the entity version level. This applies when attachments are added under the following circumstances:

  • Adding a test asset

  • Editing a version of a test asset (Update as well as Save as New Version)

QMetry supports the following attachment types -

  1. Attachments: Documents/Videos/Images/Files

  2. References: Links/URL

Adding Attachments
