You can edit in the offline suite if you do not have access to Qualitia Client.

After the offline suite is created, for every test case that contains test data, the associated test data as excel files are created in the same folder with the same names as given to their associated test cases. You can modify the test data such as replace the existing test data and enable or disable TC iterations.

Points to Know

  • Do not add or remove any columns or change the column order.

  • Enter as $NULL$ in the associated cell where you do not want to add a value for a parameter in a TC or task iteration.

  • If you do not want a task or TC iteration, delete the respective row.
