Test Planning

Structure and detail all your tests in a hierarchical tree. Add test steps, test parameters, and test configurations.

Develop Test Plan

Typical applications are too large to test them as a whole. To have an overview, divide your application under test into smaller units according to functionality by creating a test plan tree. By creating test subjects you hierarchically divide your application into units and sub units. After you define test subjects in the tree, you develop the tests to create for each subject.

Detail Tests

Detail your tests with built-in system attributes (e.g., type, status, priority, or person responsible) or create custom attributes of various data types. You can create custom workflow rules with field updates to set field values automatically (e.g., the date a test has been deprecated).

Design Test Steps

For each test create one or more test steps. Test steps contain detailed instructions on how to execute a test, the inputs to enter, and the expected outputs and results. Use rich text formatting to detail your steps, attach files, or discuss the instructions. You can also create custom fields and custom relationships on test steps.

Define Test Parameter

To increase the maintainability and flexibility of tests, you can add parameters to test steps. A test parameter is a variable that can be assigned a value outside the defining test. The use of parameters enables you to run the same test repeatedly each time with different test data or in a different environment. Before you can use parameters in steps you must define the parameter in the test.

Create Test Configurations

Create test configurations to set test parameter values. Each test configuration is a set of parameter values. Test configurations allows you to separate test logic from test data and to run a test multiple times, each time with different test data.

Requirements Coverage

One of the most important things of test management is requirements coverage. Requirement coverage allows you to track the relationship between your requirements and tests. With requirement coverage you can easily view the tests covering a requirements or you can recognize that a requirement has no associated test.
