You can download an example of a CSV formatted for the Test Case (Text) template below, as well as a template for your own test cases.

The Test Case (Text) template allows for you to describe the steps testers should take to test a given case more fluidly, while the Test Case (Steps) template allows you to delineate individual Steps along with the Expected Result for each step. The other two default templates, Test Case (Text) and Test Case (Steps), both provide you with areas to specify Preconditions, Test Steps, and Expected Results. For example, the Exploratory Session template uses large text fields where you can define your Charter and Goals, and document notes, attach screenshots, and upload log files as you carry out your exploratory sessions.
