Edit Test Cases During a Test Run

Update a Test Case while testing, then choose whether to keep the run’s existing script or load the latest revision.

You can edit a Test Case while a Test Run is in progress. Saving the Test Case and updating the run are separate actions: you choose whether the run continues with its existing script or uses the latest revision.

1. Edit the Test Case

  1. Note the Test Case key and version used by the run.

  2. Open that Test Case in Vansah and update the script using the normal editing controls. You need permission to edit Test Cases.

  3. Save the changes, then return to the Test Run.

Editing a reused Test Case can also affect where that case/version is used elsewhere. Confirm that you are changing the intended version.

2. Review the revision notice

When a newer revision is detected, select New revision found. Review the author, update time, and available history before deciding whether to load the changes.

The screenshot shows an older layout of the same revision controls.

3. Choose the script for this run

Choice

Action

Continue with the current script

Close the revision popover and continue the run without loading the new revision.

Use the latest script

Select Get latest revision, review the confirmation, then select Confirm. Check the refreshed steps and results before continuing.

The update control is disabled if the script format has changed. Use an appropriate new Test Run for the new format.

Check results after loading changes

  • Existing steps can retain their logs, but their instructions or order may have changed. Recheck whether the results still apply.

  • New steps need testing. Removed steps can have their logs removed from the updated run.

  • Vansah recalculates the overall result. Loading a revision does not mean the changed steps have been retested.

For the detailed update procedure, see Update a Test Run to the Latest Script Revision.
