Adding a Test Description

Feature Description

Since tests often are quite complex definitions that represent a piece (or allocation) for future diagnostic code, descriptions are sometimes essential to describe the exact role of the test. Test descriptions are unlimited in length and can include a variety of information, such as:

Conditions under which Test is Used

Test descriptions can be edited using the Details panel or within Grid View.
