Test Script Upload
Users within your organization that you grant Test Editor privilege to will be able to upload Test Scripts to Touchstone.
You can limit access to those test scripts to yourself, members of your organization, or members of your organization group. You can also give everyone access to those test scripts.
You can adopt TDD (Test-Driven Development) in your organization by enhancing these test scripts in lockstep with the capabilities of your test system over time.
