Severity : The potential impact of a failure (Blocker, Critical, Major, Normal, Minor, Trivial, Not Set).
Type : The category of test (Functional, Smoke, Regression, Integration, E2E, API, Unit, Performance, Security, Accessibility, Other).
Behavior : The nature of the test (Positive, Negative, Destructive, Not Set).
Layer : The application layer being tested (E2E, API, Unit, Not Set).
3. Automation Fields
Automation Status : Whether the test is Manual or Automated.

4. Pre/Post-conditions
Pre-conditions : What must be true before the test runs.
Post-conditions : The expected system state after the test finishes.
5. Test Steps (Classic vs. Gherkin/BDD)
Test cases can have one or more steps.
You can choose between Classic and Gherkin (BDD) formats using tabs.
Classic steps include three fields:
Action : “What action to perform?”.
Test Data (optional) : “Input data (optional)”.
Expected Result : “What should happen”.
Click Add Step to add more steps sequentially.
Tags : Add keyword tags (e.g., “Smoke”, “regression”) for categorization. Tags are comma-separated.
Custom Fields : Additional fields can be added, most commonly during a CSV import when a column is “unmapped”.
Created by : Shows the author’s name and a timestamp.
