Adding Test Case Details

Link to Adding Test Case Details copied to clipboard

Details tab on far left selected

On the Details panel of the Add Test Case screen, you are able to specify basic and identifying information about the test case before adding common components and pages to be tested. At a minimum, this includes giving your new test case a name. Optionally, selection and entry fields exist for describing the test case, deciding which folder it will be in, the standard to be tested against, how long the timeout is for a session within the site to be tested, and the name of the product that will be tested. It also allows you to upload the common components and pages (for the next two steps) using the Import functionality.

Populating the Details panel fields then activating the Next button when creating a new Test
Case

This table lists each field in the Add Test Case Details form, with a usage description of each in the right column.

Test case name Required. Type a short name for the test case that summarizes its purpose.
Test case description Type a description of the test case that expands on its name with additional detail, such as a particular page area to be targeted. Drag the lower, right corner out to expand the field size when necessary. You can update the description and session timeout meta-data in the test case and it will update existing test run metadata
Folder A means of organizing test cases, a folder may contain multiple test cases. Activate the down arrow to display the list of existing folders, and activate one to select it.
Standard Activate the down arrow to display the list of standards, then activate the most appropriate one to select it. Your selection refines both the automated rules that run and the applicable checkpoint test screens presented for manual testing.
Session timeout Required. This is a note field you can use to record session timeout information for reference purposes only. This can be used to represent the timeout of the application being tested, and timeout-related modals which themselves must also be tested. You can update the description and session timeout meta-data in the test case and it will update existing test run metadata.
Product Type to enter the name of the associated product to be tested when applicable (for example a name of an application, system, or site).
