Description

As a user, I want to bulk convert regular steps into library steps and have the option to automatically convert or map steps to Library Steps during Test Case Import, so that consistency and reuse can be ensured.

User friction

Users must manually recreate or convert regular test steps into library steps, which is time-consuming and error-prone. During Test Case Import, there is no option to standardize steps, leading to duplication and inconsistency.

Steps to reproduce (right now) / Actual Result:

• Create or import test cases with regular (non-library) steps

• Attempt to reuse or standardize steps across multiple test cases

• Manually convert each step into a library step

Actual Result:

Conversion must be done manually per step, and imported steps remain as regular steps with no option to map or convert them automatically.

IMPACT

What would improve if solved:

• Faster test case creation and migration

• Improved consistency and standardization of steps

• Increased reuse of library steps

• Reduced duplication and maintenance effort

Impact on stakeholders:

• Save time and reduce manual effort
• Gain better standardization and maintainability
• Improve scalability and quality of test assets

Current workaround:

Manually convert regular steps into library steps after creation or import

CONTEXT & EXAMPLES:

Concrete example:
A team imports 100 test cases from an external source. Each test case contains similar login steps, but all are imported as regular steps. The team must manually convert or recreate these as a single reusable library step.

Workaround risk:

• Inconsistent step definitions across test cases
• Increased duplication
• Higher maintenance overhead when steps change
• Higher possibility of human error during manual conversion
