Use shared assets

Shared assets give you access to modules and reusable test steps (RTSBs) from other workspaces in your tenant so you can reuse them in your test cases and reusable test steps without duplicating or rebuilding them from scratch.

To make assets available across workspaces, workspace admins need to share a workspace as an asset library.

Before you start

Before you add shared assets to your test cases and reusable test steps, keep the following in mind:

• You can use shared assets in your workspace, but you cannot edit them.

• All the assets you use from the Shared assets tab behave as shared assets, even if they come from your own workspace. We recommend using the User assets tab for your own assets instead.

There are a few situations where shared assets can cause your test cases or playlists to fail:

• If a shared asset you use gets updated.

• If a shared asset you use gets deleted.

• If a workspace admin removes a workspace as a shared asset library.

Use shared assets

You can access the Shared assets tab any time you create or open a test case or reusable test step. Once here, you can choose from the following options:

• Jump to the asset's original workspace by hovering over it and selecting Jump to module.

• Add the asset to your test case or reusable test step by hovering over it and selecting add.

• View all test cases and reusable test steps that use the asset by selecting View references in the toolbar.

Now that you know how to use shared assets, why not put them to work? Next up: do a trial run. Trial runs help you find and fix issues, so you can make your tests as stable and reliable as possible.
