How to attach a file to a test case/step (creating tests)
Hi All,
While setting up test cases, i am wondering how i could attach a file to a test case/step so that when a tester executes the test case, a file is available to check.
For example, the test case is "download file and check to see if same as attachment" - this test case downloads a file and if it matches the file which is attached to the test step or case, then the test passes.
How and where to attach the file to be compared with?
I can see in the test data section of the test step there are options for insert link, picture but thing for a file. I hope im explaining this correctly.
Hi,
Yes, this is possible. Please see this post for the solution, which is to use the Add File option within each test step. I've added the text of the solution below but the link includes screen prints as well:

Test Script (Steps):
Another option that is useful is to add files into the Test Script (which shows as the test steps in the lower section of the Test Player). The advantage here is that you could show for example, screen prints to support expected results , etc. To add attachments into the Test Script steps, go into the Test Case where before you were clicking on the Attachments tab, but instead of doing that, click on the Test Script tab. In there, for each step, you will see an option on the right-hand side of the step to Attach Files (screen print also attached for you).
Hope that works for you!
