Creating & Managing Test Runs - Step Guide
Creating Test Runs
To create a new test run:
- Click the Create Test Run button in the header
- Fill in the test run details:
Title: A concise name for the test run (required)
Description: A brief summary of what is being tested
Custom Fields: If your project has custom fields configured for test runs, they will appear here. Fill them in as needed.
Test Case Selection: Add test cases using one or more methods:
Manual Selection
- Click Add / Update Test Cases
- Browse or search for test cases
- Select test cases to add
- Click Add to include them in the test run
Manually selected test cases are always included in the test run.
From Requirements
- Click Add Requirement
- Select a requirement from the requirement selector
- Select test cases linked to that requirement
- Click Add to include them
Test cases from requirements are included based on requirement links.
From Test Suites
- Click Add Test Suite
- Select a test suite from the test suite selector
- Test cases from the suite are automatically included
Test cases from test suites are included based on suite membership.
Note: You can combine all three methods. Test cases are aggregated, and duplicates are handled automatically.
- Click Create to create the test run
Test Case Sources
Test cases in a test run can come from:
