Link manual and Gherkin tests to automated tests

For some manual and Gherkin tests, running a test takes considerable effort. To help mitigate this effort, you can:

Automate the test with another testing tool.
Link the test to an already created automated test to synchronize their status and details.

Linking tests ensures you have a linkage from the test steps to the automation code. It also ensures that the results of both tests are included in quality analysis.

To link manual and Gherkin tests to automated tests:

Open a test with an automation status of Not Automated.
In the Relations tab, click the Add Relation button and select Covering Automated Test.

Tip: In an automated test, select Covered Manual Test, Gherkin Test to link between them.
Select the appropriate automated test from the list and click Add.

In the relations grid, the tests are connected in the map. The automated test is also assigned to the backlog items and application modules of the parallel manual or Gherkin test.

In addition, in a linked manual test, the test's automation status is updated as Automated.
Run the tests as required in the Manual Runner or in the pipeline with the automated test.

View run results of the automated test run and manual or Gherkin test run in the test's Runs tab.
