Creating Shared Steps in Azure DevOps
In Azure TestPlans we can easily create Shared Steps which helps a team in not duplicating the common test steps as Shared steps are nothing but common test steps which is like a module can be reused again and again in different testcases.
Let us see how to create a shared step in Azure DevOps
Step 1: Select the TestCase in which there are steps which can be used as Shared Steps (Common steps)
Step 2: Now select the steps you want to
