Automation

The Automation view is a dual-panel interface for linking manual test cases to automated tests from your CI pipeline. This creates traceability between what you planned to test and what actually runs.

​

Layout

The screen is split into two side-by-side panels: Each panel has its own search bar, view toggle, sort controls, and filter dropdown.

​

Panel Views

​

Hierarchy vs Flatten

Click the toggle button in the panel toolbar to switch between views.

​

Search

Each panel has a search bar at the top. Type to filter tests by name within that panel. The search applies independently — searching in the manual panel does not affect the automated panel.

​

Sort

Reorder the list within each panel using the sort control in the toolbar.

​

Filter by Link Status

The filter dropdown on each panel controls which tests are visible: Each panel header shows the total count of tests (e.g., “MANUAL 42” or “AUTOMATED 1098”). This updates as you apply filters.

​

Link and Unlink Tests

Two ways to link automated tests to manual test cases:

1. Drag-and-drop in Automation view — Drag a test from the right (AUTOMATED) panel and drop it onto a manual test case in the left (MANUAL) panel. Linked tests show a badge (e.g., TC-6835 #23). To unlink, click the ✕ icon on the linked test badge.

2. From the test case Details Sheet — Open any test case and use the Linked Tests tab to search, link, and unlink automated tests individually.

​

Auto-Match

Auto-Match uses AI to find automated tests that likely correspond to your manual test cases based on title similarity.

​

How to use

1. Click the Auto-Match button in the toolbar. The badge shows how many suggestions are available (e.g., “39”).
2. The Auto-Match Suggestions dialog opens, showing each manual test case with its top matching automated tests.
3. Each suggestion shows:
   • The manual test case ID and title
   • Candidate automated tests ranked by match score (e.g., 92%, 100%, 76%)
   • The spec file each automated test belongs to
   • A green checkmark for accepted matches
4. Review the suggestions. Toggle individual matches on or off by clicking the checkmark.
5. Click Accept Top Match to accept the highest-scoring match for every test case at once.
6. Click Link N Tests to apply the accepted matches.

Auto-Generate

Auto-Generate creates new manual test cases from unlinked automated tests and links them automatically. This is useful when you have automated tests in your CI pipeline but no corresponding manual test cases yet.

​

How to use

1. Click the Auto-Generate button in the toolbar. The badge shows how many eligible automated tests are available (e.g., “1074”).
2. The Auto-Generate dialog opens, showing all unlinked automated tests grouped by spec file.
3. Each spec file group shows:
   • The spec file name and count (e.g., product.spec.js 8/8)
   • Individual test names with checkboxes
4. Select or deselect individual tests, entire spec files, or use Deselect all / select all.
5. Click Create N Tests to generate the manual test cases and link them.

Typical Workflow

1. Start in Automation view to see the current link status across both panels
2. Use Auto-Match first to link existing manual test cases to their automated counterparts
3. Use Auto-Generate to create manual test cases for any remaining unlinked automated tests
4. Use drag-and-drop for any manual corrections or one-off links
5. Switch to the Linked filter to verify coverage, or Unlinked to see gaps
