(8.3.0) Updating the Manual Test Cases

You must first share the task or test case for automation from Design studio to make it available for synchronization in the automation studio.
For more information on how to share task or test case for automation from QDS, refer to the share test artifacts for the automation section.
Only one user is allowed to work on one task or test case at a time. If the task/test case is being used by some other user, Qualitia displays an appropriate information message.
The lock sign prior to the test case/task name indicates that this test case is shared for design updates and cannot be updated from automation studio.

You cannot create new test cases in the Requirements section.

After you synchronize manual test cases from QDS, you can add steps and tasks manually or use Qualitia Automation Recorder. You can access manual test cases from automation studio only after the synchronization process.

To update manual test cases:

Select the QDS integrated project.
From the Expand Menu, click Develop.
You will find all the manual test cases synchronized from Design Studio.
Filter the test cases/tasks using Epics and Stories, if required.
Click the Sync button ()to get the updated test cases.
To implement any test case, right-click the manual test case and select Implement.
You can now edit this test case in the right-pane.

After synchronizing with QDS, if you ae working with a test case for first time, you need to implement it. Unless you do not implement the test case, you cannot edit it and include in a suite execution.
You can do one or both of the following to add steps and tasks:
1. Record the steps using Qualitia Automation Recorder. For instructions on how to record a test case, refer to Recording a Test Case using Qualitia Automation Studio Recorder.
2. Edit the test case manually. For instructions on how to edit a test case, refer to Adding or Editing a Test Case Manually.
  1. By default, NoOps action is selected for all the steps. It is only a placeholder. You must replace it with the executable action before you add the test case in Suite for execution.
  2. Ensure that you replace all the empty objects with real-time objects from the application under test . The reason is that test suites cannot be executed for the test cases containing empty objects. However, Qualitia you can dry run a test case that contains empty objects.
After adding all the appropriate steps and actions, click the Save button ().
After saving the updated test case, click the Share button () to synchronize the updated test case in the QDS project.
After you share with QDS, QAS locks the test case. You can now unlock the test case from QDS only.
