Editing tests

As your testing requirements change, you can make updates to your tests from the test details page. This article explains how to update and edit your existing tests.

Update test information

Test information, also known as test metadata, includes the following details:

• Test name and description
• Test description
• Test labels
• DataTable settings
• Variable sharing
• Associated Xray test cases or test case IDs for a custom integration

You can update test metadata in the mabl app or via the mabl API:

• mabl app - click on the edit pencil at the top left corner of the test details page
• mabl API - use the update test metadata endpoint

Edit test steps

To make changes to test steps or other settings within the test, click on the Edit test button.  

Edit test vs. quick edit

Browser and mobile tests support two options for editing: a full session in the mabl Trainer or quick edit. 

• Click Edit test to launch the application in the mabl Trainer.
• Click on the down arrow and select Quick edit if you want to make changes that don't require interacting with the application under test.

Configuring the training session

When you edit an existing browser, mobile, or API test, you may configure the following settings for your training session in the training configuration modal:

• Application
• Environment
• URL override
• Credentials
• DataTable scenario

By default, the training configuration modal selects the values that are associated with the test, but you may update them to different values as needed.

Saving changes

When you save your updates, mabl creates a new version of the test.

To view all saved test versions or revert to a previous version, open the CHANGE HISTORY tab on the test details page.
