Test Case Repository Overview
The Repository is the central place for managing all test cases within a project.
It provides a structured folder hierarchy to organize test cases, along with tools to search, filter, and manage them efficiently.
Core Concepts
What is the Repository?
The Repository is where all test cases for a project live.
It allows you to:
- Organize test cases using folders
- Create, view, and edit test cases
- Search and filter test cases
- Perform actions on one or more test cases
The Repository acts as the source of truth for test documentation in a project.
Repository Structure
The Repository uses a hierarchical 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)- Folders help group related test cases
- Subfolders allow deeper organization
- Uncategorized contains test cases not placed in any folder
Accessing the Repository
To access the Repository:
- Open a project from the Projects page
- In the project side panel, click Repository
- The Repository view opens with:
- Folder tree on the left
- Test case list in the main area
- Filters and actions at the top
Repository Interface
Folder Tree
The folder tree allows you to:
- Navigate folders and subfolders
- Select a folder to view its test cases
- Create, rename, or delete folders
Folders help keep the repository structured as the number of test cases grows.
Test Case List
The main panel displays test cases for the selected folder.
From here, you can:
- View test case titles and key attributes
- Select one or more test cases
- Open a test case to view or edit details
Filters and Search
The Repository provides tools to quickly locate test cases.
You can:
- Search test cases by title or content
- Filter by attributes such as priority, severity, or status
- Combine multiple filters to narrow results
Managing Test Cases
Creating Test Cases
You can create test cases directly in the Repository.
Test cases can include:
- Title and description
- Preconditions
- Steps and expected results
- Priority, severity, and other attributes
Editing Test Cases
Existing test cases can be updated at any time.
You can:
- Modify test case content
- Update metadata such as priority or status
- Move test cases between folders
Bulk Actions
The Repository supports working with multiple test cases at once.
You can:
- Select multiple test cases
- Perform bulk actions such as delete or move
- Quickly manage large sets of test cases
Bulk actions help reduce repetitive work when maintaining the repository.
Importing Test Cases
You can import test cases into the Repository using Excel files.
Importing allows you to:
- Create multiple test cases at once
- Migrate test cases from other tools
- Quickly bootstrap a new project
Permissions
Access to Repository features depends on the user’s project role:
-
Project Manager
Full access to the Repository, including creating, editing, moving, and deleting folders and test cases. -
Project Coordinator
Can create and edit test cases, organize them into folders, and perform bulk operations. -
Project Member
Can view test cases and use them during test execution. -
Project Viewer
Read-only access to the Repository.
Best Practices
When working with the Repository:
- Organize test cases using meaningful folders
- Keep test case titles clear and descriptive
- Avoid very deep folder nesting
- Review and clean up outdated test cases periodically
- Use bulk actions for efficiency
Next Steps
- Learn how to create and edit test cases
- Explore folder organization strategies
- Use test cases in Test Runs for execution
