2. Click the Preconditions tab.

1. Navigate to Test Management > Preconditions.
2. Click Create precondition.
3. Fill in the content of the precondition.
4. Click Save.

Result

New precondition has been added to the repository.

Edit a Precondition

1. Navigate to Test Management > Preconditions.
2. Click the pencil icon next to the precondition you want to modify.
3. Update the content.
4. Click Save.

Result

The precondition has been updated in the repository.

Delete a Precondition

1. Navigate to Test Management > Preconditions.
2. Click the delete icon next to the precondition you want to remove.
3. Confirm the deletion.

Result

The precondition has been removed from the repository.

4. In the modal, browse or search for the preconditions you need.

Add Preconditions to the repository

Save content from the Preconditions field directly to the repository to reuse it later:

1. Open a Test Case or Test Case Execution.
2. Go to the Steps tab.
3. In the Preconditions section, switch to edit mode and click Add to repository.
4. Edit Preconditions if needed.
5. Click Save.
