Adding a Test Case

Adding Test Cases

Tip

  • Once you edit or change a field, Zephyr will automatically save your change.

  • When editing test steps:

    • You can press the "esc" shortcut on your keyboard to delete anything that is typed in the current field.

    • You can reorder the test steps to your liking as well.

  1. Click on the "Add" button at the top of the table.

  2. You can change any of the fields once you create the new test case.

    • Name - The name given to distinguish a test case in the system.

      By default, the title of the test case will be labeled as "Untitled" until changed.

    • Alt ID - ID given if the test case is linked/imported from JIRA.

    • Priority - The urgency used to define a test case.

    • Tags - A label attached to a test case.

    • Description - A written representation to help provide an explanation for the test case.

    • Comment - Any additional information provided to help clearly understand the test case.

    • Mapping Requirement - Linking a requirement to the test case to build traceability between a requirement and test case.

    • Test Steps - Informative steps used to define the executed steps involved, the data required to replicate the steps, the expected results involved for each step, and comments to provide additional context for the test step.

    • Automation - A file that can be attached to a test case to help define/describe the requirement. (images, docs, etc.)

    • Test Details - Any additional fields that can be filled out if previous test detail fields were customized in the administration page.

    • Attachments - Any file(s) used to assist in defining the test case. Click Attachments to know more about the supported file formats.

    • Breadcrumbs

    • Project/release links

    • Test repo tree

    • Pagination

    • Top navigation

    • Execution redirection
