Test Repository

About

On the Test Repository screen, you can create, edit, and organize test cases. In Zephyr, a test case is a set of actions (test steps) a tester needs to perform to ensure a feature of an application or service works correctly. A test case can include various test data, expected results, attachments, information about test executions, and so on.

To open the screen, select a release at the top of the Zephyr window and click Test Repository on the sidebar:

Folder & List views

Clicking Test Repository opens a screen with a test case tree on the left and a list of test cases on the right. When you open Test Repository, Zephyr enables the Folder and List views where you can create folders in the test case tree, view a list of test cases, and perform various actions, such as adding new test cases, deleting the selected ones, and so on:
