Labels

Introduction

Labels are used for classification of Test Assets. Using Labels, you can search Test assets, generate reports, collect statistics, etc. QMetry allows creating your own Labels for Test Cases, Test Cycle and Test Plan.

Labels are created at Project Level. Labels provide an easier way of grouping your test assets. A user can assign it to a  Test Case, Test Cycle and Test Plan for tagging. 

Also, it is a good practice to search for a label before creating it. It will avoid the creation of duplicate labels.

Searching a Label

Consider that you need to create custom label 'logout'. So, we will be searching for it using the below steps:

1. Navigate to QMetry > Configuration menu > Select Project.
2. Click on labels and type the keyword in the text box at the right side of the page title.
3. If you will get below search result as "No Data Available" then it means label named 'logout' doesn't exist and we can proceed with label creation.

Adding a Label

Before creating these labels, you need to have  'Configuration modify' access to the project where you wish to add a label. 

Consider you have to create a label 'login'. Below are the steps for label creation:

Steps to create Label in Project :

1. Go to QMetry menu > Configuration > Select your Project

2. Under Project Configuration select Labels.

3. Enter meaningful Label Name and click Add.

The labels are available for linking them with Test Case, Test Cycle and Test Plan. 

Editing a Label

We have an option to edit a label that is already created. But before editing these customized labels, you need to have 'Configuration modify' access to the project where you wish to edit a label.

We just need to click on the label name we wish to edit, and we get a text box to enter the new label name as shown in below screenshot:

You now need to type the new name and click on the tick mark symbol.

Deleting a Label

We have an option to delete a label which is now not in use. But before deleting these customize labels, you need to have  'Configuration modify' access to the project where you wish to delete a label.

Below are the steps to delete a label:

1. Go to QMetry menu > Configuration > Select your Project.

2. Under Project Configuration select Labels. The Labels list is displayed on the screen.

3. Click on the Delete icon of the Label that you want to delete.

When you try deleting labels that are linked to any Test Asset then you will get below warning message:

After deletion, as shown in below screenshot, the labels field becomes blank.
