Labels

Introduction

Labels are used for the 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. 

Searching a Label

It is a good practice to search for a label before creating it. It will avoid the creation of duplicate labels. Below are the steps to search label:

1. Navigate to QMetry > Configuration menu > Select Project.

2. Click on Label.

3. Click on the search icon to see the text box. Type the keyword in the text box and press ENTER on the keyboard.

Creating a Label

Users with the 'Configuration modify' access to the project can create a customized label. 

Example: QA manager has 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 Label.

3. Enter meaningful Label Name and click Add.

Open

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

Add Label Values Inline

The Label field values can be added inline in the test asset detail page.

1. In the Labels field, type the field value.

2. An option to create the value is prompted. Click on it or press the ENTER key.

Using a Label

Below are the steps to link labels. These are generic steps for all 3 test assets mentioned above.

Example: Considering the scenario for test case 

1. Go to the QMetry menu > Test Management > Test Case tab.

2. Create a new Test Case or open the detail page of an existing test case.

3. In the Labels field, type to search the label values.

Editing a Label

Users having 'Configuration modify' access to the project can edit a label that is already created. You can edit the Label values inline. Below are the steps to edit a label:

1. Click on the label name that you want to edit. The text box opens in editable mode as shown in the below screenshot.

2. Type the new name and click on the tick mark symbol.

Note: After editing the label name, the updated name of the label gets auto reflected on their associated test assets.

Copy Labels to Other QMetry Projects

Labels from one project can be copied to other projects. The functionality allows users to use similar items in different QMetry projects without having to add these items individually.

Users can save their time as they do not have to create redundant/duplicate items for different QMetry projects.

Select the labels that you want to copy to other QMetry Projects and click Copy at the top right corner.

Now select the project wherein you want to copy the selected items. You can select multiple QMetry Projects (maximum 5 projects) at a time to copy the item.

Duplicate entities will be ignored while copying.

Note: User having 'Configuration modify' access to the project can perform this operation. 

Deleting a Label

User having 'Configuration modify' access to the project can delete a label which is now not in use. 

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.

Deleting labels that are linked to any Test Asset will result in the below warning message:

After deletion, the label value will be removed from the Label field of the test asset.
