Add Test Case

This explains the process for adding a new test case to the project repository using the Add Case dialog.

New test cases can be added in several ways:

  1. Manual Creation: Navigate to the desired folder in the Repository and click the 'Add Case' (+) button
  2. AI Generation: Use the AI-powered generation wizard to create test cases from issues or requirements (requires LLM Integration)
  3. CSV Import: Bulk import test cases from CSV files using the Import Cases wizard

Dialog Layout​

The Add Case dialog uses a resizable two-panel layout:

  1. Left Panel (Main Fields): Contains the core test case definition fields based on the selected template.
  2. Right Panel (Metadata): Contains standard fields like Estimate, Automated status, Tags, and Attachments.

Header Controls​

  • Title: "Add Test Case".
  • Template Selector: A dropdown menu to select the Template for this test case. Changing the template dynamically updates the fields available in the left panel.
  • Parent Folder: Displays the name of the folder the case will be added to.

Left Panel Fields​

  • Name (Required): The name or title of the test case. This is usually a text area allowing for longer descriptions.
  • State (Required): A dropdown to set the initial workflow State for the test case (e.g., Draft, Ready for Review).
  • Dynamic Template Fields: All the custom fields defined in the selected Template are displayed here. This could include:
    • Text fields (single or multi-line)
    • Dropdowns
    • Multi-select lists
    • Checkboxes
    • Date pickers
    • Number/Integer fields
    • Link fields
    • Steps: A dedicated field for defining the test steps, including Action and Expected Result for each step.

Right Panel Fields​

  • Estimate: An optional field to estimate the time required to execute the test case (e.g., "30m", "1h 15m").
  • Automated: A toggle switch to indicate if the test case is intended for automated execution.
  • Tags: Allows selecting and assigning existing Tags to the test case.
  • Attachments: An area to upload files (e.g., design mockups, requirement documents) relevant to the test case definition.

Actions​

  • Cancel: Closes the dialog without creating the test case.
  • Create: Validates the input fields and creates the new test case in the selected folder. It also creates the initial version (Version 1) of the test case.

AI-Powered Test Generation​

When LLM integrations are configured, you'll see an additional Generate Test Cases button (with sparkles icon) in the folder view. This opens the AI generation wizard which allows you to:

Generation Sources​

  • From Issues: Generate test cases from linked Jira, GitHub, or Azure DevOps issues
  • From Documents: Generate test cases from requirements documents or specifications

Generation Process​

  1. Select Source: Choose an issue or provide requirements document details
  2. Select Template: Choose the template and specific fields to populate
  3. Configure Settings: Set quantity, provide additional instructions, enable auto-tagging
  4. Review & Import: Review generated test cases and select which ones to import

Key Features​

  • Smart Field Population: AI automatically fills template fields with contextually relevant content
  • Context Awareness: Considers existing test cases to avoid duplication
  • Flexible Quantity: Generate from single test cases to comprehensive test suites
  • Auto-tagging: Automatically generates and assigns relevant tags
  • Test Steps Generation: Creates detailed action/expected result pairs
