Add Attachments on List View Execution Screen

QMetry Test Management for Jira provides Attachment functionality to add more references to the particular test case/step. For example, a test case has failed. Testers can attach a screenshot related to the failure.

The Attachment screen at the test case level displays attachments added on the test case detail screen (Test Case and Test Step Attachment) and attachments added on the test execution screen (Test Case and Test Step Attachment). The Attachments screen at the test step level displays attachments added on the test case detail screen (Test Step Attachment) and attachments added on the test execution screen (Test Step Attachment).

Note

Administrators can configure the maximum file size for attachments and inline images. By default, the system allows files up to 50 MB.

Attachments can be added from the test case detail (test case and test step) as well as the test execution screen (test case execution and test step execution).
