Test Case Repository Overview

2 min read

The Repository is the central place for managing all test cases within a project.

It provides a structured folder hierarchy to organize test cases, along with tools to search, filter, and manage them efficiently.

Core Concepts

What is the Repository?

The Repository is where all test cases for a project live.

It allows you to:

Organize test cases using folders
Create, view, and edit test cases
Search and filter test cases
Perform actions on one or more test cases

The Repository acts as the source of truth for test documentation in a project.

Repository Structure

The Repository uses a hierarchical folder structure.

Repository (Root)
├── Folder 1
│   ├── Subfolder 1.1
│   │   └── Test Case 1.1.1
│   └── Test Case 1.1
├── Folder 2
│   └── Test Case 2.1
└── Test Case (Uncategorized)

Folders help group related test cases
Subfolders allow deeper organization
Uncategorized contains test cases not placed in any folder

Accessing the Repository

To access the Repository:

Open a project from the Projects page
In the project side panel, click Repository
The Repository view opens with:
- Folder tree on the left
- Test case list in the main area
- Filters and actions at the top

Repository Interface

Folder Tree

The folder tree allows you to:

Navigate folders and subfolders
Select a folder to view its test cases
Create, rename, or delete folders

Folders help keep the repository structured as the number of test cases grows.

Test Case List

The main panel displays test cases for the selected folder.

From here, you can:

View test case titles and key attributes
Select one or more test cases
Open a test case to view or edit details

Filters and Search

The Repository provides tools to quickly locate test cases.

You can:

Search test cases by title or content
Filter by attributes such as priority, severity, or status
Combine multiple filters to narrow results

Managing Test Cases

Creating Test Cases

You can create test cases directly in the Repository.

Test cases can include:

Title and description
Preconditions
Steps and expected results
Priority, severity, and other attributes

Editing Test Cases

Existing test cases can be updated at any time.

You can:

Modify test case content
Update metadata such as priority or status
Move test cases between folders

Bulk Actions

The Repository supports working with multiple test cases at once.

You can:

Select multiple test cases
Perform bulk actions such as delete or move
Quickly manage large sets of test cases

Bulk actions help reduce repetitive work when maintaining the repository.

Importing Test Cases

You can import test cases into the Repository using Excel files.

Importing allows you to:

Create multiple test cases at once
Migrate test cases from other tools
Quickly bootstrap a new project

Permissions

Access to Repository features depends on the user’s project role:

Project Manager
Full access to the Repository, including creating, editing, moving, and deleting folders and test cases.
Project Coordinator
Can create and edit test cases, organize them into folders, and perform bulk operations.
Project Member
Can view test cases and use them during test execution.
Project Viewer
Read-only access to the Repository.

Best Practices

When working with the Repository:

Organize test cases using meaningful folders
Keep test case titles clear and descriptive
Avoid very deep folder nesting
Review and clean up outdated test cases periodically
Use bulk actions for efficiency
