Editing a Task

A task can be edited in two ways. You may need to edit the tasks details such as Task Name and Task Description or add steps to an existing task, reorder steps, and remove steps from a task, depending on your project requirements.

You can use error up and down buttons to navigate through empty objects. 

 
To edit task details:

  1. Click Develop > Tasks.
    The Tasks screen is displayed. The screen is divided into two main panes, left pane and right pane. On the left pane, all the existing tasks are organized in a tree structure. On the right pane, a tabular list of steps within the task is displayed.
  2. Select a required task from left pane of the screen.
  3. Right-click the selected task and click Edit Task from the context menu.
  4. Edit the required fields Task Name or Description. The File Name field is not editable.
  5. Click OK.

The basic task details get updated with the edited values.

 To edit the task steps:

  1. To edit a particular step, the user can double-click on the step and make the changes as per requirement.
  2. To add a step, remove a step, or reorder steps, the user can click on Add Step, Remove Step or Up/Down buttons respectively.
  3. Click Save button to save the changes.

If the task to be edited is already used in a test case, on editing the task, Qualitia displays a confirmation window to alert you that the task is already used in some test cases and prompts whether you want to continue.
The user can view the list of test cases in which the particular task is used. You may now select appropriate task to update task step details.

If you are using Qualtia v8.0.2 or above, whenever you edit a task,  other users can now view the following information :

  • The changes in task steps

  • The user who edited the task

  • The date and time when the task was edited
