Test cases

You can manage and execute your test cases in Test Manager, or assign automation. A test case can contain both manual steps and automation. Respectively, you can execute your test manually or automatically.

Conditions

• When you delete a test case in Studio, the artifact is preserved in Test Manager.
• Changing test case names in Studio will be reflected automatically in Test Manager.
• You can overwrite an automation linked to a test case in Test Manager.

Navigation and search

To quickly find your test case, use the search function and the filters. Navigate within the page using and configuring the paginator. Alternatively, you can use the breadcrumb to navigate between the pages.

1. Filter - You can use the filter to narrow your search. For example, you can search for the test cases that have been updated by your user, by specific labels, or the latest results (e.g., Passed). The filters are automatically saved and kept active until you clear them.

2. Search - Use the search bar to find test cases by their key, name or labels (requires full search term match).

   You can use the search bar at the top of the page to look for test cases.

Viewing test cases

You can glance over your test cases on the Test Cases page. For a detailed view, click a test case key to open the Overview page.

You can view the test case log by clicking the Open execution log icon. For more information, see Analyzing Test Results.

Linking test cases in Studio to Test Manager

You can link a test case in Studio to a correspondent test case and requirement in Test Manager. To complete this action, you need to integrate Studio to Test Manager.

1. In Studio, open an existing project or create a new Test Automation.
2. Open an existing test case or create a new one.
3. In the Project, right-click a test case and select Link to Test Manager. Alternatively, you can use Ctrl + Click for multiple selections to link multiple test cases to a requirement.

   Test Manager might require you to sign in, using your credentials.

   • Project: Select your project. If you did not set a default project for Test Manager, see Integrating with Studio.
   • Test: Select a test case from the dropdown list.
   • Name: Enter a name only if you create a new test case in Test Manager.

Alternatively, you can select a Requirement from the dropdown list if you want to assign the test case to a specific requirement in Test Manager.

     
     

     

     
     
5. Click OK to confirm.
