Introduction

Users can copy test steps from one test case to another test case or the same test case.

Use Case: While authoring a test case often testers need to reuse steps from an existing test case and make minor modifications. To conveniently copy test case steps from an existing test case, testers can utilize the "Copy steps from existing test case" option. This allows them to quickly and easily incorporate the necessary steps while making any necessary adjustments.

→ Required Permissions: Users should have Test Case View, Test Case Create, and Test Case Edit permissions.

Users can copy test steps while creating a new test case and while editing an existing test case. Test Steps can be added from the test case detail page as well as from the test case list view.

Notes:

• A maximum of 100 test steps can be copied at a time.

• In the case of a normal test case, you can copy steps from the shareable test case as well as the normal test case.

• In the case of the shareable test case, you can copy steps only from the shareable test case.

• In case of test steps with parameters: The parameters would not get copied in the test cases of cross projects as the parameters were created only for source projects. For the same project, the steps will get copied along with parameters but without values.
