Test Case Repository Overview - Management Guide

The Repository is the central hub for managing all test cases and folders in your project. It provides a hierarchical folder structure to organize test cases, powerful filtering and search capabilities, bulk operations, and comprehensive analytics to help you maintain and track your test case repository effectively.

Core Concepts

What is the Repository?

The Repository is a structured storage system for test cases that includes:

Hierarchical Folders: Organize test cases in a nested folder structure
Test Case Management: Create, view, edit, delete, and clone test cases
Advanced Filtering: Filter test cases by various criteria
Bulk Operations: Perform actions on multiple test cases at once
Import/Export: Import test cases from Excel or export to various formats
Analytics: Track repository metrics, coverage, and trends

Repository Structure

The Repository uses a tree-like folder structure:

Repository (Root)
├── Folder 1
│   ├── Subfolder 1.1
│   │   └── Test Case 1.1.1
│   └── Test Case 1.1
├── Folder 2
│   └── Test Case 2.1
└── Test Case (Uncategorized)

Root Folder: The top-level container for all folders and uncategorized test cases
Folders: Containers that can hold test cases and subfolders
Test Cases: Individual test cases that can be placed in folders or remain uncategorized

Accessing the Repository

To access the Repository:

Navigate to a project by clicking on it from the Projects page.
In the project sidebar, click on “Repository” or navigate to /workspace/:workspaceId/project/:projectId/repository.
As a result, you’ll see the Repository page with:
- Folder tree sidebar on the left
- Test case list in the main panel
- Filter panel at the top
- Action buttons in the header
