Copying test steps from one test to another

Edit online

When a set of steps in a test is required in another test, you can copy them and paste them into an existing test or an empty test. You can select the required steps from a test to copy, although they are not in a sequence. If there are any variables associated with the selected step, they are also copied with the step.
