Circumstances When You May Need to Delete a Case
On AIO Tests, you can easily delete a case if there are any unnecessary cases or if you have created a duplicate case by mistake. Here are some of the circumstances when a case should be removed.
Unnecessary cases: In case a test case created by you is no longer needed or the requirement has been changed and the test case is not valid anymore, you should remove that list to avoid any kind of confusion.
Duplicate cases: If you have mistakenly created two test cases with the same details, you should delete one case from the platform to keep your data organized.
Recreate test cases: Whether you want to merge two different test cases or want to change the details of some test cases, you should delete those test cases from AIO Tests.
Outdated functionality: When the software that you are testing undergoes changes, modifications or updates, or its features become outdated, test cases that are related to obsolete functionality should also be deleted.
