Authoring a Test case

Why was this developed?

The Test Step Group creation feature was developed to streamline the testing process by enabling users to create a reusable collection of test steps that can be applied across multiple test cases. Users can build test steps manually using the "Add Manually" option or leverage existing steps with the "Add from Repository" feature. This functionality reduces repetitive work, saves time, and ensures consistency in testing by defining common actions once and reusing them wherever needed.

What is the goal?

The goal of developing the Test Step Group creation feature is to enhance efficiency and consistency in the testing process. By allowing users to define common actions once and reuse them across multiple test cases, this feature reduces redundancy, saves time, and simplifies test case management. It ensures that repetitive tasks are streamlined and testing workflows are more organized and maintainable.
