Managing recorded TestCases

The Manual Test Case Manager serves to manage your recorded, manual TestCases. You can create TestSteps and TestStepValues manually and add files, result screenshots, design screenshots and videos. You may also add annotations to screenshots and videos.

In the Manual Test Case Manager you can perform the following actions:

• Create TestSteps and TestStepValues manually

• Merge TestSteps

• Set results of TestSteps and TestStepValues

• Add attachments

• Add and edit screenshots

• Record, edit and export videos

• Record your interactions

• Export the TestCase as PDF documentation

Navigating the Manual Test Case Manager

In the Manual Test Case Manager you can choose between a Media view and a List view.

Your created design screenshots, result screenshots, videos and attachments are stored in the TestStep. The name of the TestStep indicates the application you recorded, whereas the TestStepValue name indicates the type of the recorded interaction. You can edit these names after the recording if required.

To show the name of an option in the Manual Test Case Manager, hover over an icon to display its tooltip.

The following options are available in the Manual Test Case Manager:

Creating TestSteps and TestStepValues manually

You can manually create TestSteps and TestStepValues for a TestCase.

To create a new TestStep , click on the Create Step icon.

To create a new TestStepValue for a TestStep, click on the Create Value icon.

Make sure to assign meaningful names to your TestStep and TestStepValues.

Set TestStep Results

The Manual Test Case Manager allows you to mark TestSteps and TestStepValues as Passed or Failed. When a TestStep contains at least one TestStepValue, you have to set the result on the level of the TestStepValue.

To set the results of a TestStep or TestStepValue, follow the steps below:

1. Select the TestStep or TestStepValue for which you want to set a result.

2. Click on the Set Passed icon or the Set Failed icon in the Test Case ribbon to set the result to Passed or Failed.

   Alternatively, you can select the results by clicking the icons next to the TestSteps or TestStepValues in the sidebar of the Media view, or in the Result column of the List view.

The colored square indicates the result and the number of TestStepValues with that result.

Attaching Files

You can attach any number of files for each TestStep of a TestCase.

To attach files to a TestStep or TestStepValue of a TestCase, click on the Add Attachment icon. The option is available in the Results column of the List view and at the upper right-hand side in the Screenshot tab of the Media view.

Merging TestSteps

Tosca allows several TestSteps to be combined to one TestStep.

1. Select the TestStep you would like to merge with another TestStep.

2. Use drag and drop to move the TestStep to the Merge Box field of the TestStep to be merged.

   The TestSteps are merged. All annotations of the merged design screenshots are inserted into the design screenshot of the target TestStep.

Please note that screenshots in TestSteps to be merged must be of the same size.

Save and Close

Click on the Save and Close button to save your recorded manual TestCase and to exit the Manual Test Case Manager.

The recorded manual TestCase is created in the TestCases section, and the TestCase workstate is set to Completed.

Tosca creates an ExecutionList with ExecutionEntries in the Execution section for manual TestCases which include at least one TestStep with at least one result, result screenshot or attachment.

Design screenshots are stored in the Managed Files Area, whereas result screenshots are stored in the screenshots folder, and attachments are referenced (see chapter "Create file reference with central storage location").
