How to Reuse Shareable Test Cases?

Reuse Shareable Test Cases

Shareable Test Cases are helpful when test steps are used repeatedly. While creating a new test case, testers may want to reuse a shareable test case because it contains the same test steps that are to be followed in the new test case.

For example, there is a test case "Login", which contains test steps to check the Login functionality. There is another test case "Verify Copy Requirements", which requires the same test steps as in "Login" along with other additional test steps. So the tester inserts a shareable test case and reuses the test steps under the test case.

Steps

1. On the Test Case detail/create screen, go to the Test Steps section.

2. Click on Edit, it enables the '+' icon to add more steps.

To insert the shareable test case at the end, click on the + sign and select Insert Shareable Test Case. Or

To insert the shareable test case in the next row, click on the cog icon on the individual test step and select Insert Shareable Test Case.

3. The Link Shareable Test Case pop-up opens. Select the test case you want to link to the new test case. You can also select a particular version of the test case.

4. Click either on Link or on Link & Close button. Clicking on the Link button will keep the window open after linking test cases. Clicking on the Link & Close button will close the window after linking test cases.

The shareable test cases are added to another test case. On the Steps tab, you can view the test case Key and version that has been linked.

You can -

A. Drag & Drop test steps to re-arrange them.

B. Open the shareable test case in a separate tab.
