To add a test step:

1. Open a test.

2. In the Design Steps tab, click New and specify the following information.

   Step Name | The name of the step. Default value: The sequential number of the design step. For example, it's Step 1 if you are adding a step to a test for the first time. Double-click the column to specify the name.
   Description | Instructions for the tester to perform. Double-click the column to specify the instructions.
   Expected | The expected result after the step instructions are performed. Double-click the column to specify the expected result.
   Attachment | The number indicates the amount of files attached to the test step. To add an attachment to the test step, click Attachment and select the file to attach. To view all attachments of the test step, in the Attachment column, click the number to open the attachment list where you can download and delete any attachments.

3. To adjust the order of a step, hover over the icon in the front of the step, and drag and drop the step to the target location.
