5. Enter a Description for your test.
6. Click Save.
   The system creates a new test record and returns to the list of tests.

What to do next

Add steps to an automated test.

• Add a predefined list of steps (template) to an automated test
  With test templates you can add a predefined list of steps to a test. Any list of steps that follows a set pattern makes a good candidate for a template.
• Add steps to an automated test
  Create a series of steps for an automated test to run in a specified order.
• Change automated test step
  If necessary, edit a test step after you create it.
• Edit automated test step order
  By default, steps execute in the order in which you created them. You can change this order by editing the Execution Order field.
