A test case represents one functional check or validation in your system. It defines what to test, how to test it, and the expected result. Each test case includes metadata for classification, test steps for execution, and automation flags for tracking readiness.
Quick Reference
Section Details Core fields Title, description, key Classification Status, priority, severity, type, behavior, layer Automation fields Manual/Automated, flaky, muted Test steps Classic (Action/Data/Expected) or Gherkin (Given/When/Then) Custom fields Text, textarea, number, dropdown, checkbox Attachments Screenshots, documents, test data files Version history Change tracking, comparison, restore
Core Fields
Field Type Description Title Text (required) The name of the test case Description Text A detailed explanation of what the test case validates Key (ID) Auto-generated A unique identifier (e.g., TC-6297)
Classification
Field Options Status Active, Draft, Deprecated Priority Critical, High, Medium, Low, Not Set Severity Blocker, Critical, Major, Normal, Minor, Trivial, Not Set Type Functional, Smoke, Regression, Integration, E2E, API, Unit, Performance, Security, Accessibility, Other Behavior Positive, Negative, Destructive, Not Set Layer E2E, API, Unit, Not Set
Automation Fields
Field Type Description Automation Status Dropdown Manual, Automated, To Be Automated Is Flaky Checkbox Mark an unreliable or unstable test Is Muted Checkbox Silence or skip this test
Pre/Post-conditions
Field Description Preconditions What must be true before the test runs Postconditions The expected system state after the test finishes
Test Steps
Test cases support one or more steps. Switch between Classic and Gherkin (BDD) formats using tabs in the step editor.
Classic steps use three fields per step: Field Description Action What action to perform Test Data Input data (optional) Expected Result What should happen
Click Add Step to append additional steps. Gherkin steps use structured keywords for behavior-driven scenarios: Keyword Purpose Given Describe the initial context or precondition When Describe the action or event Then Describe the expected outcome And Add additional conditions to Given, When, or Then But Add a negative condition or exception
Each step maps to one keyword and its description.
Add keyword tags (e.g., smoke, regression, login) for cross-suite categorization. Tags are comma-separated and can be applied during creation, editing, or bulk operations.
Custom Fields
Create project-specific fields beyond the built-in set. Custom fields appear alongside standard fields in the creation form and editing sheet.
Type Use for Example Text Short information Environment: “Staging”, Build: “v2.1.5” Textarea Long notes Special instructions, test data details Number Numeric data Execution time: 5 (minutes) Dropdown Pick one option Browser: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge Checkbox Yes/No toggle Requires VPN: Yes / No
Custom Field Limits
Limit Value Dropdown options 50 per field Text field length 500 characters Textarea field length 5,000 characters
Note Manage custom fields in Project Settings . Unmapped columns during CSV import are automatically created as custom fields.
Attachments
Attach screenshots, documents, or test data files to any test case. Attachments provide additional context for manual test execution or review.
Detail Value Max attachments per test case 5 files Supported actions Upload, view, download
Note Attachments can be enabled or disabled at the project level in Project Settings .
Version History
Track all changes made to a test case over time. Version history records who changed what and when, providing a full audit trail.
Feature Description Change log View a chronological list of all edits Diff view Compare any two versions side by side Restore Revert a test case to a previous version
Note Version history can be enabled or disabled at the project level in Project Settings .
Field Description Created by Author name and timestamp
