You can easily search required test cases on the grid even if there is a long list of test cases. You can apply different search methods as described below to locate the test cases.

Go to Test Management > Test Case tab. Users can search test cases on the Test Case tab. Various filters are available to search the Test Cases. The filter will be applied to the selected Test Case Folder on the tree.

A. Search Test Cases based on Key/Summary

You can search a particular test case on the basis of its Key/Summary. Enter the Key or Summary in the text box and press the ENTER key.

B. Search on Other Test Case fields

You can apply other filters like following to search test cases. Filter can also be applied on custom fields.

  • Label

  • Fix Version

  • Components

  • Sprint

  • Status

  • Priority

  • Assignee

  • Reporter

  • Created By

  • Updated By

  • Coverage Stories

C. Search on Specific Stories

1. Open the filter menu and select Coverage/Stories on it.

The Coverage/Stories filter is added to the filter pane. 

2. Click on Coverage/Stories to see the list of stories.

3. Select the stories you want to add to the test case filter and click Submit.

You can search required stories using (A) Basic Search and (B) JQL Search.

Basic search (The Issue Type filter displays Issue Type in accordance with the Issue Type enabled for Story in QMetry Project Settings.)

Switch to JQL: Clicking on Switch to JQL, the JQL editor opens. Write the query to filter the records and click Submit.

Save Filter

You can create customized filters and save them too for future use. These filters can be saved with visibility either Public or Private.

1. Click on the filter drop-down and select the field to apply filter on.


Once you apply the filter on records, you can also save it.

2. Click Save to save the filter.

The Save Filter pop-up opens.

3. Enter Filter Name on the pop-up.

Filters can be saved with visibility either Public or Private.

  • Public: Filter saved with Public visibility will be visible to all the users of the project.

  • Private: Filter saved with Private visibility will be visible only to the currently logged-in user.

Use Case: A project admin wants to restrict the number of Public filters that are visible to all users in the Filter list. Filters created by one user may not be that much useful to other users, hence, the user opt to make the filter as “Private” to avoid a long list of saved Filters.

4. Click Submit.

Now the filter is saved and applied.


A. All the saved filters appear on the drop-down.

B. You can edit the current filter.

C. You can delete the current filter.

D. To clear the applied filter, click on the Clear Filter option.

E. You can save the filter with other name.
