Import Scenario as Test

You can import a scenario from a Use Case or other element, or from all elements in a package, into the Testing window Scenario tab. This avoids having to duplicate the scenario information manually.

The scenario description is copied to the Scenario Test Description tab in the Testing window. If a scenario contains a Structured Specification, its Action steps are  also copied to the Description tab under the heading Structured Specification.

  1. Open a diagram or the Project Browser and select the element into which to import the scenario.
  2. Open either:
  • The Testing window and the Scenario tab, or
