A. Wiki Markup

You can write test steps in Wiki markup editor which has different options for text formatting. Refer to Text Formatting.

B. Attach File

  • File as an attachment: The attachment icon is available in the edit mode of step. If more documents are required in reference with the step, then you can attach the file directly to a particular step using the Attachment icon.


  • File as URL:  When users want to add an image or screenshot on steps as thumbnail then this option can be used. This option accepts only the URL of the file. The file should be placed on the location from where all users can access it and then its URL can be used to attach that file as image.

Steps to add image as URL :

Step 1 : Apart from the attachment icon for the step, the Image option is provided in all the editor boxes for the step. In the editor, open the menu option and select Image.

Step 2 : Enter the URL in the pop-up that opens and click OK.
