When doing exploratory testing the tester always learns something new about the system, and wants to execute the test cases and improve the test cases simultaneously - that means:&#xD;
&#xD;
    So the tester executes these tasks in parallel:  - executes test cases  - modifies/adds/removes test cases, executes tests that were added/modified  -  modifies/adds/removes test steps,   executes test steps that were added/modified      Can it be done in Spira? Now I see that when you run "Execute" of some Test Set - then all the tests are _copied_ to the test run, so when tester adds/modifies tests and steps - he/she cannot run them since new changes cannot be promoted to existing test run. Test Runs are like "cast in stone".  As a result of test session - "Test Cases" part of the system contains added test cases and added test steps that were actually executed, some passed some failed - but nothing about them is in the Test Run part     running SpiraTeam v4.2.0.7 </description><language>en-US</language><copyright>(C) Copyright 2006-2026 Inflectra Corporation.</copyright><managingEditor>support@inflectra.com</managingEditor><category domain="http://www.dmoz.org">/Computers/Software/Project_Management/</category><category domain="http://www.dmoz.org">/Computers/Software/Quality_Assurance/</category><generator>KronoDesk</generator><a10:contributor><a10:email>support@inflectra.com</a10:email></a10:contributor><a10:id>http://www.inflectra.com/kronodesk/forums/threads</a10:id><ttl>120</ttl><link>/Support/Forum/spiratest/issues-questions/1534.aspx</link><item><guid isPermaLink="false">threadId=1534</guid><author>Roman Fominych (rf@scientificgames.is)</author><category domain="http://www.inflectra.com/kronodesk/thread/tag">exploratory testing</category><title>Exploratory testing - modifying test steps and test cases during test run</title><description>&#xD;

Hi Roman&#xD;
&#xD;
    Yes that is correct, we make a copy of the test case called a 'test run' so that multiple users can run the same test case without affecting each other.     You can make changes to the test case in a separate browser tab simultaneously with test execution in the primary tab.
