How can I test run TCs without test steps in them

I have made lot's of test cases. I haven't added any steps in them as each title is extremely self-explanatory. Thus every test suite is more like check-list. Unfortunately Spiratest does not want to run test-cases w/o steps in them.
So how can I:
1) Run test w/o steps in them?
or
2) Bulk add empty step to every test case

Hi Masters WRC

Currently you cannot bulk add test steps to the test cases unless you use the REST/SOAP APIs.

Also test cases do need at least one step for manual execution,.

However in v5.0 we've added an option to auto-generate one test step for all test cases as a time saver (based on similar requests in the past).

Hi Adam,

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but...

We are running SpiraTeam v5.4.0.3. Can you let us know how the "auto-generate one test step for all test cases" is enabled? This will be a huge timesaver.

Thank you!

Hi,

The setting is in Administration -> Testing -> Testing Settings. It's called "Create Default Test Step". 

It is set to Yes by default.

Note that it applies to newly-created test cases.

Regards,

Elise
