TestComplete shows this message when you are trying to modify the Test case check box of a test item that is not applicable to the type of test that this test item runs. You can view the test that the test item runs in the Execution entity column of the test item.
Modifying the Test case check box of the test item is not applicable to test items with the following execution entity types:
-
A tag or a tag expression - Such test items are never marked as a test case. All tests that match the specified tag or tag expression will be treated as separate test cases.
-
A BDD scenario - Scenarios are always marked as a test case.
-
A BDD scenario outline - Scenario outlines are never marked as a test case. The way TestComplete treats them depends on the Treat each example in Scenario Outline as a separate test case property of your project:
-
If the setting is enabled, each scenario example of the outline will be treated as a test case and will be included in the Summary report as a separate entry.
-
If the setting is disabled, the scenario outline will be treated as a single test case. The Summary report will include a single entry for the scenario outline.
-
-
A BDD feature file - Such test items are never marked as a test case. All scenarios that the feature file contains will be treated as a separate test case.
