What is a simple data object type for test run case steps to support a test case?

A test run case step is an execution instance of a test step. A test run case step should contain information about how the test step were executed, what were the actual inputs used, and what were the results of assertions performed.

Here is a simple data object type for test run case steps.

Test_Run_Case_Step data type, in TestMan version 1.00, properties:

• ID - Identification of this test run case step.
• Test_Run_Case_ID - Reference to the test run case data object.
• Test_Case_Step_ID - Reference to the test case step object.
• Name - A short name for this test case step, copied from test case step.
• Success - A Boolean flag indicating if this test step was successful or not.
• Timestamp - A timestamp of when this test step was started.
• Duration - The duration to measure how long it took to finish this test step.
• Output - An output value generated from the execution of this step.
• Description - A long description for this test run case step, copied from test case step.
• Inputs - Child object for a list of input data actually used to perform this test step.
• Assertions - Child object for a list assertions evaluated while performing this test step.

Examples of Test_Run_Case_Step object:
