# Generating coded test case from manual test cases

> Generate coded test cases in Studio from manual test cases linked to a Test Manager project via the Test Explorer panel.

You can generate coded test case from the manual test cases within Test Manager, that you have linked to a Studio project.

## Steps

1. Link a Test Manager tenant and a project to the Studio automation that you are creating.
2. Open the **Test Explorer** panel.
3. Select **Manual Test Cases** at the top of the panel, to show only the manual test cases inside the Test Manager project that you've linked.
4. Next to a manual test case, select **Generate Coded Test Case**. Optionally, you can also open the context menu for a manual test case, and then select **Generate Coded Test Case**. This automatically creates a coded test case, named after the test case from the **Test Explorer** panel, and automates the manual steps using the available services. Additionally, the manual steps of the automation are added as comments at the beginning of the coded test case.
