Test Steps

Defining test steps ensure that test cases are well-defined and instructions are clear. Let's dive into this feature - details below.

Test steps, a vital part of test cases, allow QA teams to define what aspects make up a whole test case. They help break down the whole item into manageable sections, which ensures that test case covers all of the requirements linked.

Each Test Step in ATM consist of 3 specific text fields that can be filled out by testers - Actions, Data and Expected Results. Each text within the fields can be formatted to user's likings. Additional items such as action items, links or tables can also be added.

The users can also create versions of Test Steps - details can be found .

Creating and editing Test Steps

In the work item view

Test steps can be added by users directly in the Test Case work item view. In the Test Case of choice, the user can add the steps in the Test Management panel by clicking Add step. Every new added step is listed beneath the previous one and gets assigned a number respective to the order of steps in the list. The steps can be edited directly in the work item view.

In the expanded Edit view

There is also a possibility to add and edit steps in an expanded window, if that's user's preference. In order to access it, click on the expand window button. The outlook and functionalities are the same as in the work item view.

Duplicating Test Steps

Users can duplicate steps by selecting the More options menu and choosing the Duplicate step option.

In order to save time, they also can quickly duplicate steps with the duplicate button at the bottom of each step. The button is accessible in the expanded step view.

Deleting Test Steps

Test Steps can be deleted individually or in bulk. In order to delete an individual step, click on the More actions menu (three dots) and select Delete. To delete steps in bulk, click on the trash icon at the top of the steps list.

Any modifications of Test Steps do not affect already existing Test Case Executions, as they are a snapshot in time of a Test Case.

Test Steps views

Within the steps, the fields can be configured to be viewed either as a list, where fields become rows, or a grid, where each field is a column. Whether the user prefers to view all of the details at once or look at the specifications one step at the time, the Test Steps view overall can be adjusted. Details of steps can be collapsed or expanded individually with arrows in the right corner. If the expansion or the collapse needs to happen in bulk - the arrows in the Test Management section can help with doing so.

The order of the steps can also always be changed - the users can either use the arrows at the bottom of each step to switch them individually, or drag the step of choice and drop it in the needed order.
