How to manage test case folders?

QMetry allows testers to organize and manage test cases in a Folder based hierarchy. Testers can group related test cases and organize them systematically during authoring or post authoring.

It helps to carry out bulk operations like Move, Copy, Editing, Deleting, Executing all test cases under one folder, etc.

The count of test assets in the folder hierarchy is displayed alongside the folder name. The count includes active + archived test cases.

For example, this is the folder hierarchy: Folder A → Folder B → Folder C

Folder A has 5 test cases, Folder B has 3 test cases, and Folder C has 2 test cases, then the count will be displayed as follows.

Folder A (10) <------ Parent Folder

Adding a Test Case Folder

The tree/folder panel is expandable which facilitates stretching of the area if you want to view longer folder names. You can also hover over the folder to view its full name.

On the Test Case module toolbar, click on the New Folder button to add a new test case folder.

Enter the following fields to add a new folder:

• Folder Name: Enter name of the folder.
