Add attachments to interactive TestCases

To provide more information in your interactive TestCases, you can add file attachments to them. When you upload your test results to the server, your attachments and recorded screenshots are saved to Tricentis File Service as a zip file.

  • You can add one or multiple attachments on the TestCase level.

  • Your attachment can have any file format.

  • There is no file size constraint. However, if your administrator has set a file size limit to Tricentis File Service, the Interactive Testing Agent notifies you if your attachments exceed that limit.

Before you save your results to the server, the Interactive Testing Agent temporarily saves your attachments and recording screenshots to the Temp folder. Therefore, don't delete the Temp folder if you are conducting an interactive test.
