Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have referred to the documentation on Creating Test Cases for Web Applications.

Edit a Test Case

Note that the most effective way to edit your test case is by using Copilot. Please refer to the documentation on Editing a Test Case Using Copilot.

1. From the left navigation bar, go to Create Tests > Test Cases.
2. Expand a Feature, then expand a Scenario, and select the test case you want to edit.
3. On the Test Case Details page, you can edit the test case using the following options:

Add a New Step

1. Click + Add new step at the bottom of the step list to append a new step at the end.
2. To insert a step at a specific position, hover over any existing step. Click + Step Above to insert a step before it, or + Step Below to insert a step after it.

Update an Existing Step

1. Click on any existing step to make it editable. Modify the NLP action, test data, or element as needed.

Reorder Steps

1. Hover over a step to reveal the drag handle (⠿) on the left side of the step.
2. Click and drag the step to the desired position in the list and click Save new order.

Step Options (Ellipsis Menu)

1. Hover over a step and click the ellipsis (⋮) icon on the right side to access additional options:

   • Ignore Step Result: Marks the step so that its pass or fail result does not affect the overall test case result.
   • Enable Visual Testing: Enables visual comparison for that specific step during execution.

   • Step Settings: Opens the Step Settings overlay on the right, where you can configure the following:

     • Pre-Requisite: Set another step as a prerequisite for this step.
     • Step Timeout: Define the maximum time (in seconds, up to 120) allowed for the step to execute.
     • Screenshot Capture: Choose when screenshots are captured: Always or Only on step failure.
     • No. of Retries on Step Failure: Set how many times the step should be retried if it fails.
     • Stop Test Case execution on Test Step failure: When enabled, the test case stops executing if this step fails.
     • Ignore this step result in Test Case Result: When enabled, this step's result is excluded from the overall test case result.
     • Disable step: Disables the step so it is skipped during execution without being deleted.
     • Enable Visual Testing for the step: Enables visual testing specifically for this step.
     • Enable Accessibility Testing for the step: Enables accessibility testing for this step.
     • Highlight element in screenshot: Highlights the element interacted with in the captured screenshot.
2. Click Update to save the Step Settings changes.
3. Use the right-side navbar to update advanced settings such as Test Case Info, Test Case Settings, and Manage Test Case options. Please refer to the documentation on Test Case: Advanced Optioned Guide for more information.

Delete a Test Case

1. From the left navigation bar, go to Create Tests > Test Cases.
2. Expand a Feature, and then expand a Scenario.

3. Delete the test case using one of the following methods:
