Not obvious that to 'view' one should click 'edit' #47

For test cases and suites, there is no link to 'view'. For a new user it is potentially unintuitive to click 'edit' in these cases. Some options listed below:

Change the link name from 'edit' to 'view' ('view' will go to the 'edit' action)
Change the link to 'view' (add 'view', and remove 'edit') and make 'edit' a link from the page displayed for 'view'
Add the 'view' link back to the 'index' page

Brian, I think we should discuss this some more. I don't think it is intuitive to 'View' in order to 'Edit'. I am actually not a fan of 'View' to begin with. I only find it necessary to have a View if you don't want some people to have Edit permission, or if some people continue to accidentally edit a record(which I don't understand how this happens). In our case we do have 'View' for Plans, but I think that is poorly named(and I want to rename it). It should be something like 'Execute Plan'?

Okay, Heather would like to be able to click links to view a test case when looking at a suite of test cases so she does not have to go back and hunt for each test case.

I've added back View links to test cases and suites. You have to now view a test case or suite before you can edit it. When viewing a suite, each test case has a view link as well.

Tests are done, I'm closing this issue.
