Modules - Creation and Management

---

Tired of recreating the same test steps for repetitive testing flows? With Modules in LambdaTest Test Manager you can streamline your workflow by reusing pre-existing test steps across multiple test cases. This powerful feature enables you to encapsulate redundant testing flows into modular, reusable components, saving time and ensuring consistency across your projects.

1.1 Module Creation from existing Test Steps

To export test steps as a module,

• Navigate to the Test Steps page of your desired Test Case.
• Select the test steps you wish to include in the module and click the Create a module button.

note

Only sequential steps can be clubbed to create a module.

• Clearly define your new module by entering a concise name and a detailed description. This will help you easily identify and understand its purpose later on.

1.2 Create Module from Modules section

Step 1: Go to Modules page

• Click on Modules button in the navbar to go to the Modules listing page.
• Click on Create a Module.

tip

When you duplicate a module, its steps, description, and linked projects will also be duplicated.

Step 2: Create New Module

• Click on the Create a Module button.
• Define your module and outline the steps you want to include.

Don't worry if you don't have all the details now; you can always edit or add them later.

note

You must provide Module name & create at least one test step to be able to create a new module.

note

Keep in mind Modules can't be deleted but only updated after creation.

2. Update Module

Modules support duplication, editing and versioning; however, a new version is only triggered when specific fields are edited.

• Add a step by clicking on Add Step or update a step through edit icon.
• Click on update on top right to save changes.

note

Only Test Step or Expected Outcome updation will create a new version of the module.

3. Module Versions

Revert to previous Version

• Click on revert to revert your module to that version. Reverting to a previous version will create a new version in your module's history, ensuring a clear audit trail of all changes.

Compare Versions

Compare your version history side-by-side to easily identify differences and track changes between various iterations of your module.

• Click on Compare & select the version to compare with.

You will be redirected to the Version Comparison page where you can track changes:

note

Project linking is only added for manual tests in test cases. Hence, modules linked to a particular project are only available to be added in a manual test case. However, for KaneAI test cases, all modules in all projects will be available for selection.
