3.2.3.1.0 Deleting and Disabling Test Activities
If you want to remove a test activity from the test procedure, you can either delete the test activity or disable
the test activity.
When you delete the activity, the activity is permanently removed from the test procedure. This action cannot
be undone, and you will have to either recreate the test activity or revert to a previously-saved version of the
test that contains the activity.
If you do not want to delete a test activity, but you also want to temporarily prevent the activity from occurring
during a test run, you can disable the activity. When you disable a test activity, the test activity becomes
grayed-out in the test procedure and the activity is ignored when the test is run. After you disable an activity,
you can enable the activity and it will once again occur during test runs.
You may find it helpful to temporarily disable some test activities when you are creating a test or when you
are troubleshooting suspected problems in the test. For example, you can disable certain portions of the test
in order to focus your time on a few specific test activities that you believe are causing problems. Alternatively,
if you want to remove a troublesome test activity, but you are unsure of the impacts, you can temporarily
disable that test activity and replace it with a modified activity and perform a test run to view the results. If
you determine that you do need the disabled test activity, you can later "retrieve" the test activity by enabling
it.
To delete, disable, or enable a test activity, right-click the test activity and select Delete, Disable, or Enable
(if the test activity is currently disabled).
