Test Steps are not visible in Document View for Historical or Baselined Tracker View

[sathikamu]

Test Steps are mandatory as it holds Actions and Expected results which will be displayed during Test Execution. But, When test document is viewed asOf Historical date or if we want to refer any Baselined document, then viewing it via Document view is of no use. All the test steps are hidden and you could see only the summary and description.

    

In order to manage this situation, I need to switch to Table view for viewing the Test Steps. But in case of working with the Test Document, the Test Steps are not editable from Table view, so either I need to open item in detailed view and edit it or else need to open the Test tracker in Document View and should edit from their.

Its a tough situation to request the user to use Document View for editing and Table view for viewing historical information's. By default the trackers are configured either as Table or Document view. Its really make no sense to convey users to switch because of Tool functionality

Hi @sathikamu ,

The test steps are not displayed on the document view, if the tracker is in baseline or historical view.

This works by design.

Hi @EvaBertalan 

The test steps only contains the core information on "What to be tested (actions and expected behaviour)". If that has been kept hidden, then how this will give require information on baselined document? It has no necessary to hide the test steps by not showing up or collapsing by default. When doing so, user will avoid using Test Steps itself.
