You have to format your test steps as XML:
<steps><steps id="0" last="1">
<step id="0" type="ValidateStep">
<parameterizedString isformatted="true">Step 1</parameterizedString>
<parameterizedString isformatted="true">Result 1</parameterizedString>
<description/>
</step>
<step id="1" type="ValidateStep">
<parameterizedString isformatted="true">Step 2</parameterizedString>
<parameterizedString isformatted="true">Result 2</parameterizedString>
<description/>
</step>
</steps>
