Linking test cases to another test suite

[edsdame]

I was wondering, if there is a chance to do something like that:
I have a multiple suites, and lets say three of them contains the same test case. Question is, if I can "link" one test case to another suite, so if I change one, the other automatically changes too. It's hard to keep track of the changes if I need to change the same case in multiple suites.

Maybe my comment doesn't make sense, but are the test steps the same for each test case? if so, can't you just create a Keywords in a resource file and have each suite test case call the keywords?

I get what you mean. My tcs are all keyword-focused, so that's not an issue, but there's a fair amount of old ones made by different people which have keywords and separate steps. It would be still a solution to make a mega-keyword from each of the old cases and let them handle the changes.

No, this is not possible. You can only share keywords, not tests. Depending on your actual use case, generating tests based on a model might be one solution as well.
