Test Step Copying and Deleting

Test Step Functions Overview

Test steps within their respective test cases in the Test Repository and the Global Repository can be copied and pasted to make an exact copy of the original test steps. This allows users of Zephyr to have the capability to copy one or multiple test steps in a test case which allows users the ability to reuse and recycle their test steps among an individual test case.

Important

Users can copy one or multiple test steps.

  1. To copy your test steps, go to an individual test case in the Test Repository or Global Test Repository.

  2. Scroll down to the "Test Step" section of the test case to begin copying your test step(s).

    • Copying an individual test step - Click on the1558441727.pngicon on the right-hand side of the test step. This will copy the individual test step onto the Zephyr "clipboard" which can then be pasted.

    • Copying multiple test steps - Select the test steps that you want to copy using the checkboxes on the left-hand side of the test steps. Click on the1558441727.pngicon at the top-left of the "Test Step" section. This will copy the selected test steps onto the Zephyr "clipboard" which can then be pasted.

3. To paste your copied test steps where you want them, click on the1558441736.pngicon. There are two ways (locations) to paste your copied test steps.

  • Paste the copied test step(s) before a test step - Click on the1558441736.pngicon on the right-hand side of the test step. This will paste the copied test step before the selected test step.

  • Paste the copied test step(s) at the very end - Click on the1558441736.pngicon at the top of top-left of the "Test Step" section. This will paste the copied test steps at the very end of all the test steps.

  • In the image below, we've elected to paste the copied test steps to the very end of all test steps.

4. Once pasted, the copied test steps can be reordered by utilizing the simplicity of Zephyr's drag-and-drop test step feature.

  • Click and hold on the1558441748.pngicon for the test step you want to reorder and then simply drag-and drop the test step to another test step location. This will move the test step to the desired location.
