Test Cases and Suites
Test Cases
A Test Case is a named set of steps for testing a single feature or
characteristic of the system under test. Test cases are associated with a
product, and can have one version per product
version. They can be organized via suites and/or tags, and can have file
attachments. Preconditions, assumptions, and other
preliminary information can be provided in the case’s description. A test
case can have any number of steps; each step has an instruction and an
expected result.
Case Edit Fields
- Product - The product that owns this test case.
- Version - The product version of this test case.
- And Later Versions - Create a test case version for the specified Product
Version as well as a case version for each later Product Version. (e.g.: if
Product Versions 3, 4 and 5 exist for this Product, and you have specified
Product Version 4, this case will be created for versions 4 and 5)
- Suite - (optional) The existing suite to which you want this case to
belong.
You can also add cases to suites later.
- Name - The summary name for the case.
- Description - Any description, pre-conditions, links or notes to
associate with the case. This field is displayed while running the test.
Markdown syntax is supported.
- Add Tags - Enter tags to apply to this case. Hit enter after each tag to
see the tag chicklet displayed. Auto-completes for existing tags.
- Add Attachment - You can attach files to cases that may help running the
test. (e.g: images, audio, video, etc.)
- Instruction / Expected - The test instruction and corresponding expected
result. You can choose to put all instructions / expectations in one step,
or break them down to individual steps. When running the test, you will have
the option to fail on specific steps, so you may find this a better approach.
Markdown syntax is supported.
- Save - You can choose to save the case as draft or active. Only active
cases can be run in a test run.
Test Suites
A Test Suite is a named collection of test cases that can be included in a
test run.
Suite Edit Fields
- Product - The product that owns this test case.
- Name - The name of the suite.
- Description - Any description for the suite.
- Available Cases - Test Cases that have the same Product you selected for this
suite. This list is filterable.
- Included Cases - Test Cases that are included in the Suite. This list is not
filtered.
Attachments
A test case can have any number of file attachments: these
will be made available for download by testers when the test case is executed.
