Test step attachments

When manually executing a Test Run, you can optionally add a file attachment to each individual test step, or to a test record. For example, you might attach a screenshot image illustrating the result of a failed test step.

This section describes several important points you need to know about these attachments.

• Click Add Attachment to attach a reference file.

• Hover over an already attached file and click to remove it.

• You can attach a file to a test step or a test record, or remove an attachment from these, while text execution is in progress.

• Users can download attachments from Test Steps or the Test Records section of Test Case type Work Items in the Work Item Tracker.

• Users can download files attached to a test step result or a test record if the test record is visible on the page of a Test Run.

• ​Users can download files attached to a test record if the test record is visible in the Test Run Records view.

• Attachments are displayed in any Defect items created as a result of failed test steps.

• Attachments are not exported to, or imported from Excel during round-trip operations.
