Import Scenario as Test

If you are creating a test for a scenario from either a single element or many elements in a Package, you do not have to manually re-type the scenario details into the test record in the Testing window. You can generate the test into the 'Scenario' tab of one element from one or more scenarios in any element in the model.

Within the Scenario test record, the scenario description is copied to the 'Description' tab. If a scenario contains a Structured Specification, its Action steps are also copied to the 'Description' tab under the heading 'Structured Specification'.
