The Test Executions are performed on Test Cycle with Test Cases linked to them. Test Cases and Test Steps carry the vital information necessary to carry out the testing process. Users have the flexibility of linking multiple existing Test Cases with the Test Cycles. Users can also re-order linked test cases as per requirement.

 

1. Open the test cycle detail page.

2. Open the Test Cases tab.

3. Click on Add Test Case.

 

 

The Add Test Case screen opens with a list of test cases on it. You can filter out test cases as described below.

Filter Test Cases:

A. Test Case Folder: You can browse test cases as per test case folder on the tree. It will help you narrow down the test case search.

B. Hide Already Linked Test Case: Check the 'Hide Already Linked Test Case' to avoid the display of those test cases on the screen which are already linked to the test cycle. It prevents linking of the same test cases with the test cycle again.

C. Search by Key/Summary: You can search a particular test case by "Key" or “Summary” through the search box.

D. Filter: There are more options like Labels, Priority, Status, Components, Fix Versions, etc. to narrow down the search. Fix Versions and Sprint also display cross-project values to filter out test case records of multiple projects.

4. Select the test cases you want to link with the Test Cycle and click Submit.

        

You can see the test case(s) are linked to the test cycle.

       

 

Users can also link the Test Cases directly from Story Issue detail page. Refer this help guide.

Re-order Test Cases

You can arrange test cases in accordance with its planned execution order. You can change the test case order either by Drag & Drop operation or by changing the test case sequence number.

Drag & Drop Test Cases: Just drag the test case and drop it to change its sequence on the list.

 

Change Sequence Number of Test Case: In case the test case list is long and drag and drop is not feasible for you, then you can just change the sequence of the test case to rearrange it on the list. Hover over the number sequence. You will see the edit icon. Click on the Edit icon and change the sequence of the test case to place it to the desired position.

 

Delete/Bulk Remove Test Case/Test Case Version

You are prompted to rebuild the test case sequence in Test Cycle > Test Cases tab -

  • When a test case/test case version among the sequenced test cases is deleted in the Test Case module.

  • When a story linked to test cycle is unlinked, as a result, the associated test cases to that story is also unlinked from test cycle.

  • When test cases association is removed in a story which is linked to a test cycle and this story is Full synced in the Test Cycle > Test Cases tab.

 

On rebuilding the test case sequence, linked test cases are re-arranged to adjust the deleted test case.

A. Unlink a Single Test Case: Hover the mouse over the linked test case record. The unlink icon becomes visible. Click on the unlink icon for the test case that you want to unlink.

B. Unlink Multiple Test Cases: Select test cases that you want to unlink and click on the Unlink Test Case button.
