Creating manual test scripts automatically

You can create test scripts automatically after defining the steps in the Test Case Design section of a test case.

Before you begin

Before you write test script steps, check the terms that are used to identify reporting steps by going to Admin > System Properties > Manual script dictionary. Statements that contain these terms are converted to reporting steps when manual test scripts are automatically created.

Procedure

  1. Open the test case to add a test script to.
  2. Click the Test Case Design section.
  3. To begin typing statements, click Add Content.
    Note: To identify reporting steps, use the terms in the Manual script dictionary. For example, if the term report is listed as a term that identifies reporting steps, the statement Report whether the credit card information was processed becomes a reporting step after automatically creating the manual test script.
  4. Use the toolbar to format steps, attach and resize images, and attach documents.
    Tip: Click Preview to view your test script before creating it.
  5. When you finish typing the statements, click the Create manual test script from test case design icon (Generate new test script) to automatically create a test script from the statements in the text editor.
  6. In the window that opens, optionally edit the title and assign an owner, and then click OK.
  7. Click the Test Scripts section to see the generated test script, and then click Save to save the test case.
    Note: You can also generate the test script from the Test Scripts section.
  8. To open the test script in the Manual Test editor, click the test script name.
  9. If needed, you can continue to edit and format the statements using the Manual Test editor.

Results

The manual test script is automatically generated and associated with the test case.
