Hi guys,
I'm still using Tarentula for my projects, and the more I use it, the more I like it (was used to work with HP QC by the past, but I DO really prefer Tarentula for its philosophy and ease of use).
Anyway, I wanted to suggest a new improvement: during the execution of a test, what about providing the possibility to attach one or several attachments to the steps of a case ? It could be used for instance to attach screenshots to show what went wrong or prove the result was as expected, or attach a diff file showing results of a comparison of data during a data migration, etc.
Of course, the comment section can be used to describe the result of the execution of a step / action but sometimes in addition a picture / file is more explicit.
Best regards,

Add attachments (screenshots, files) to the results of steps / cases during execution

Yes, i can see that it could be useful for some cases. As a workaround you can put attachements to case itself and refer to them from steps etc.
Nowadays we don't actually use steps at all. Writing and maintaining individual steps requires quite much work. And i think more errors will be found, if case is varied between executions. -

Hello Ari Hakala,
Can you please elaborate what do you mean by "Nowadays we don't actually use steps at all" from your above post.
Does it mean, the "test steps" (Action, Result) are irrelevant and you do not use them any more ?
If true then how to you write "test steps" ?
Thanks,
Kiran. -

Hi Ari,
I would also appreciate if you answer Kiran Patil's question.
Thanks,

As I am transitioning to Agile, I think Ari means that as a tester it is more important to make sure that the software meets the requirement than being told exactly how to do that. Adding detailed, "go here, click this, click that" instructions is boring, time consuming and leads to flows that are unidimensional.
