0005785: Append Test Steps to exisitng Test Case

Notes
(0019602) jamiep (reporter) 2013-09-11 11:10	It's basically an ability to append steps to an existing test case from a different existing test case. This will allow quickly building tests from a library of shared steps.

(0019608) fman (administrator) 2013-09-11 18:31	unfortunatelly still is far from clear please provide step by step to reproduce, some screnn mockup and any other kind of material that can help to a better understanding.

(0020553) fman (administrator) 2014-03-09 10:22	Scenario ExternalID: TXZ-1 - Title: Test Case ALFA 1 Step 1- AAA - Result R-AAA Step 2- BBB - Result R-BBB ExternalID: TXZ-10 - Title: Test Case AMERICAN PIE Step 1- LAMA - Result RAMA Step 2- BETA - Result ZETA New feature New BUTTONS on TEST CASE VIEW page: - APPEND STEPS as GHOSTS - APPEND STEPS as COPY Use case 1. use display Test CAPPEND STEPS as COPYase 1 2. click on APPEND STEPS as COPY, user provides TC ExternalID TZX-10 3. GO 4. TZX-1 becomes ExternalID: TXZ-1 - Title: Test Case ALFA 1 Step 1- AAA - Result R-AAA Step 2- BBB - Result R-BBB Step 3- LAMA - Result RAMA << always added AFTER latest STEP Step 4- BETA - Result ZETA is this what do you need ?

(0021249) jamiep (reporter) 2014-07-11 05:06	Yes that would work OK. It would be better at step 2 "User provides external TC ExternalID" to also have a Browse button that provides a list of test cases to choose from with a mouse. If you feel that the browse will present a very long slow list then we could add tag "Step Library" to test cases and filter the browse result. This effectively would add a usable shared step library feature to Testlink

IMHO for first implementation having to input an string is acceptable

(0021265) jamiep (reporter) 2014-07-13 22:48	Fair enough, there could be performance impacts, Let's get the first implementation done as you said, that will be very useful. If it is popular then we can look at browsing or even a Drag and Drop interface to build test cases.
