over 3 years ago

Description:

During the testcase execution I want tho add teststeps to a runnng testcase

Benefit:

If an error is detected in the test case during the test execution or if a further test step is necessary, the test case can be adjusted directly during the execution.

Design details

In the testcase execution screen should be integrated 2 buttons for adding new teststeps (Setup Step and Validation step)
the test steps should be editable during execution

Any updates on this - cannot be that complex to add step options when running a test

Idea Add new teststeps during the testrun is now merged with the current idea on the screen.

With the Octane version 16.0.200 it is possible to change teststep descriptions during the run. Unfortunatelly it it not possible to add new teststeps during the run.

Could you add the a functions to add new teststeps during the testrun?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

The ability to add additional steps is necessary and should have been included when designing the functionality to edit steps during the run.

Please also ensure that the steps added can be inserted at any point in the test step sequence, or that steps can be reordered during the run. It does not make sense to only allow the steps to be added at the end of the test.
