Test steps are very important in manual testing because they
provide the detailed semantics on how each test case is to be
validated and ultimately completed.  That said, if you consider
most manual test cases will have several steps each and most
organizations will have a number of test cases, this results in
a large number of steps to manage.  Copying and pasting from
popular tools like Microsoft Excel and Notepad reduces the time
needed to properly manage, compose, and translate steps.   The
test steps control inside the test case work item supports bulk
copying and pasting of data from a variety of data sources,
including other test steps, Microsoft Excel, Notepad, or any
