Question: I automated a manual test case but it is still appearing in the manual test tab. How do I fix this?

Answer: Changing the state of a test (automated or manual) is not automatically reflected in the test plans. Therefore, when a test is changed from manual to automated (or vice versa), that test must be manually removed from the test plan and then added back.

Question: How do I retain the test employee so that it does not get deleted by the background delete job?

Answer: To retain a test employee, change the last name of the employee from “Test” to something else. Note that by doing so, the employee will never be picked up by the delete job and will have to be deleted manually.
