Archived Shareable Test Step in the Test Case
Archived Shareable Test Step on the Execution Screen
Introduction
The test cases need to be archived before deleting them. This feature prevents accidental deletion of test cases and, hence, test cases can be deleted only after archiving them.
Test Cases that are not in use currently can be archived to stop them from appearing on the active test case list. Archiving moves the test cases which are unwanted without deleting them permanently.
Archived test cases can be unarchived at any time to move them back to the active test case list. If not required anymore, the archived test cases can also be deleted.
Impact of archiving test cases:
All the versions of the test case will be archived.
If a shareable test step is archived, the existing execution of that shareable test step will be preserved along with attachments.
→ Permissions required: Users should have the “Edit” Test Case permissions to archive the shareable test cases.
You can archive a single test case as well as bulk test cases.
Archive a Single Test Case
Follow either of the steps mentioned below to archive a single shareable test case.
(A) Access the Shareable Test Case view as mentioned in the View Shareable Test Cases. Click on the Archive icon for the test case that you want to archive.
