You can add test steps to the test case. The Test Steps editor supports Wiki Markup. Test Step text can be formatted to produce different effects.

There are two ways to add test steps under the test case:

A. Steps Tab on the Test Case Detail Page

1. Open the Steps tab.

2. You can see the Step Details section which is expandable.

3. Enter Step Summary, Test Data and Expected Result in respective text boxes. These fields have the Wiki markup editor on them.

4. Click Add to add every step.
   
   

Note: QMetry Test Management for Jira uses Jira’s native editor and some characters like backslash used in the wiki markup body become unusable by default. This is a technical limitation from Jira's end. As a workaround, we would suggest you use the 'Code' from the rich text editor to mention any text containing backslash for Step Summary, Test Data and Expected Result text boxes.

Open

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 to 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 a 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 an image.

Steps to add an 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.

Open

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

C. Create a Copy of Test Steps

When there is a minor change in the steps or in case of repetition of the step, you may need to create a copy of the existing Test Steps. You can create a copy of the existing Test Steps very quickly.

To create an instant copy of the existing test step, click on the Clone icon for that step. It will add another step with the same value as the original step.

D. Delete a Test Step

In case you find that the Test Step is no more relevant to the Test Case it has been added to, then you can easily delete that Test Step from the same screen.

Click on the Delete icon for that particular test step.

E. Search Steps

If there is a long list of steps, you can search the required steps by Summary, Test Data and Expected Result.

F. Bulk Remove Steps

In case multiple steps under a test case are now not relevant to the test case, then you can remove these steps in one go without removing them one by one. 

1. Select the steps you want to remove.

2. Click on the Remove Steps button.

G. Re-arrange Test Steps

There are two ways to re-arrange the steps:

• Drag and Drop to change sequence: To re-arrange steps on the same page, perform drag and drop operation.

• Change Sequence: To re-arrange steps across pages, change the sequence of steps accordingly.

Expand Test Steps

A. Expand individual test step

B. Expand all the test steps at once

B. Add Test Steps from Test Case List View 

You can add a new test step directly from the test case list view without opening the Steps tab of a test case detail page.

1. Expand the test cases under which you want to add test steps. You can see the space to add steps.

2. Enter test steps detail and click Add.
   
   

Edit Test Steps

You can edit test steps from two places -

A. Edit Test Steps from Steps Tab on the Test Case Detail Page

You edit existing step details, add attachments, clone the test step, and delete the test step.

B. Edit Test Steps from Test Case List View

You can edit existing test steps directly from the test case list view without opening the Steps tab of a test case detail page.

Expand the test cases under which you want to edit existing test steps. Edit the existing steps inline. The changes in steps reflect in that particular version of the test case.

You can add an attachment, clone the test step and delete the test step from the Test Case List View.
