Designing test steps in Test Plan module

After you add a test to the test to the test plan tree, you build the test by designing design steps For manual test you design steps, execute them on your application, and record result of each step. Following are the scenarios where tester needs to design steps in manually in Test plan 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Test requires a response by the tester Usability tests One time tests Test that needs to be run immediately Test requires knowledge of the application Test without predictable results

In the test plan module select , view->Test Plan Tree and select a test Click the Design Steps tab If there are existing design steps, select the step below which you want to add a new step Click new step icon to add the step and expected result in the Design Step details dialog box. If there are existing design steps, select the step below which you want to call a template test and click on Call to Test icon
