Updating test steps in test results using a REST API typically involves sending a PUT or PATCH request to the API endpoint that corresponds to the specific test result you want to update. The exact details may vary depending on the testing tool or system you are using, as different systems have different APIs and data structures. Here is a general outline of the steps you would follow:

Authentication: Ensure that you have the necessary authentication credentials or tokens to access the REST API. You may need to provide an API key, OAuth token, or other forms of authentication.

Identify the Test Result: You need to know which test result you want to update. This typically involves providing some form of identifier, such as a test result ID or a unique URL.

Retrieve Current Test Result Details: Before updating the test steps, it's a good practice to retrieve the current details of the test result you're interested in. This can often be done with a GET request to the appropriate API endpoint. This step is optional but can be helpful for reference.

Update Test Steps: To update the test steps in the details section of the test result summary, you will need to construct a JSON or XML payload that includes the updated test steps. The structure of this payload should match the expected format of the API.

Send the PUT or PATCH Request: Use a REST API client or a programming language with HTTP capabilities (e.g., Python with the requests library) to send a PUT or PATCH request to the API endpoint for updating test results. Be sure to include the identifier for the specific test result and the updated test steps in the request payload.
