Note: Test Cases can be deleted only after archiving them. Refer to https://qmetrysupport.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/QTM4J/pages/2582872829 to know how to archive test cases.

You can delete individual test cases one by one or multiple test cases in bulk at once. QMetry allows you to maintain different versions of test cases. You can also delete a particular test case version. You can use the inline delete feature to delete individual test cases.

Test Cases will be deleted from the project permanently. The action can not be reverted.

Delete Test Cases in Bulk

You can remove multiple test cases at a time through the Bulk Delete functionality. Bulk Delete will delete all versions of the selected test cases.

Use Case: QA Manager finds a bunch of test cases that are not relevant to the planned release. Hence, they select such test cases and apply the ‘Bulk Delete’ operation.

Note: Maximum 100 test cases can be deleted in bulk at a time.

Steps:

1. Select test cases that you want to edit.

Selection of Multiple entities at a time: To select entities within a range on the current page, select the first entity’s check box and then select the last entity’s check box and simultaneously hold the SHIFT key of the keyboard. All the entities between these two entities will get auto-selected.
Select All:

→ Select all records on the current page:

Clicking on the check box in the column header selects all the records on the current page only.

An alternate way is to open the check box drop-down and select Current Page.

Open the check box drop-down and select the Across All Pages option.

Once you select the test cases that you want to delete, the options for bulk operation become visible on the screen.
