2.5 Organize Precondition Into Folders

In the Precondition section, AgileTest provides a Precondition Folder feature that helps you categorize related preconditions into the same group. This makes them easier to track, navigate, and maintain throughout the project lifecycle. By grouping preconditions into folders, teams can improve visibility, keep test preparation well-structured, and simplify precondition management as the project grows.

By default, in the Precondition section, you can see a precondition folder feature on the left-hand side, which allows you to organize preconditions in a hierarchical order.

To open/close the folders, click on the ▶️ / ◀️ button on the left-hand side of the table.

To add preconditions into folders, you can multi-select these preconditions and drag them into suitable folders.

2.6 Export Preconditions

To download preconditions for internal storage and documentation, you can click on the “Export” button and select the CSV file type you would like to receive.

AgileTest supports you in exporting preconditions into 2 types of CSV files:

• Text-only file: Exports preconditions as plain text without any formatting, ensuring maximum compatibility with other tools.

• Text with styles file: Exports preconditions along with text formatting and styles, useful when you want to preserve the original appearance and structure.

How to export random preconditions not in any filter or sorting format?

1. Select the preconditions you want to export.

2. A toolbar will appear at the bottom of your screen. Click the “Export button” in the toolbar.

3. Choose the file type you want to receive the data in.

You can delete a precondition by choosing the “Delete” button in the Action column.
