Reusing Test Statements

After you have added statements to the Reuse view, you can reuse the statements in other scripts.

If you have not already done so, save the statements that you want to reuse.

To reuse test statements:

  1. Open the script where you want to add the reusable statements.
  2. In the Reuse view, select the statements you want to reuse.

  3. Drag and drop the statements into the Outline view:
    1. Press and hold the left mouse button.
    2. Drag the cursor into the Outline view.
    3. Release the left mouse button.
Manual Tester inserts the statements into the Outline view and the manual test script in the Text Editor. In the manual test script, the statements are displayed in a gray box to indicate that they are reused content. Manual Tester also uses a slightly different icon for each of the statement types to indicate that it references a reusable statement.
Note: You can customize the background color of reused statements. See Setting Manual Tester Preferences for more information.
