Is it important to have Test Step in Test Case in Codebeamer?

[PJ_11165848]

I have to migrate RV&S data to Codebeamer, In RV&S we were not using Test Step and entering Expected Result in a custom field. In Codebeamer, I created a custom field called Expected Result, but it doesnt get displayed in Test Run Wizard.

Hi @PJ_11165848 

Thank you for your question. 

Your post appears well documented but has not yet received any response. I am replying to raise awareness. Hopefully, another community member will be able to help.
 

Also, feel free to add any additional information you think might be relevant. It sometimes helps to have screenshots to better understand what you are trying to do.

Hi @PJ_11165848 

You will need to use the test steps to view the expected results in the Test Run Wizard. I recommend creating a single test step and using it to house the expected results, rather than a custom field, if you want to view that information during a test run.

 Please let me know if you have any further questions.

So, in a sense Test Step is a kind of necessary field in Test Case, if we need Expected Result, as without Expected Result Test Case doesnt make much of a sense by itself?

Generally, that is true. From a technical perspective, a test case without expected results can still be marked as passed or failed; however, from a practical standpoint, it is more sensible to have expected results to avoid ambiguity about what was being validated.
