Custom test step fields at test cases and test runs

Both Test Case and Test Run trackers can now be configured to have additional test step fields, so that your users can provide additional information about the given step and/or the result of the step respectively.

Configuring additional test step fields

In order to add custom test step fields, you need to go to the usual Test Case and Test Run tracker configuration pages and add a new column to the Test Steps and Test Step Results tables.

Test Cases

Test Runs

Naturally, columns added to Test Cases will appear for all test cases and will be editable there. By default custom Test Case columns will not appear in Test Runs generated from the given Test Case tracker. If you would like the custom fields of your Test Case tracker to be visible or editable during test execution as well, you need to create the fields in both your Test Case and Test Run trackers identically – see the "Added at" and "Related to" examples at the above screenshots. The mapping of fields happen at the time of the test run generation based on field name and type. The mapping of simple (non-reference) choice field options are also text based. In case a custom field of your Test Case tracker cannot be mapped to the custom fields of your Test Run, the Test Run is still created with a warning message – as per the screenshot below.

Test step fields added only for the Test Run tracker will appear only for Test Runs. To make the custom test step fields of your test run editable in the test runner, you need to:

1. Save your new fields first
2. Open the Edit dialog of the fields you would like to make editable
3. Tick the "Editable" checkbox
4. Save your updated configuration
