Revising Test Cases

You can revise test cases to create newer versions for testing. Revising a test case retains:

  • All requirements and scripts linked to the original test case.
  • All prerequisite dependencies of the original test case.
Note: Revising a test case does not retain test executions. The test executions might not be valid for the revised test case.

Before you begin: The test cases must be in the In Work, Frozen, or Release maturity state.
