Title of the shared step in test case
Fabian Peetz
There’s a long list of benefits coming with this feature (especially if you design your shared steps in terms of re-usable domain/business activities like „Create Invoice“ and have the corresponding UI clicks/IT actions attached to them as a next level of detailed description):
- business people/non-techs can gain a faster & better understanding what the test case is doing and why (test purpose)
- as a test designer, you gain a better overview about existing keywords you could potentially use in other test cases
- when you’d like to change a test step, you should definitively know if you’re changing some part of a shared step, because this might affect other test cases
- test cases become shorter and more readable if you have the possibility to „collapse“ the shared steps involved.
This (and some other aspects like test automation) is why we rely so heavily on the concept of keyword driven testing, so please make our shared steps visible! :-)

This way it would be easier to find it in the Shares steps list. So it is a vary critical improvement for those who have lots of shared steps.

when editing a case, it would be useful to see the title of a shared step that's been used, because it's hard to find later which shared step exactly has been used if you need to add it into another case
