How Do I? - Test Cases

Published date: April 15, 2024, Version: 1.0

Overview:

Here we will focus on creating robust test cases that cover all aspects of the technology's functionality. Techniques such as boundary value analysis and equivalence partitioning help ensure comprehensive coverage and accurate results.

Update An Existing Test Case

Prerequisite

You have already identified the test to update

If you need to search for a test to update follow the How Do I? - Test Cases | Search For A Test

An update to an existing test is needed in one of the following cases

Case 01: The Requirement, which is covered by the test, is updated/changed/modified
Case 02: The test can cover an additional Requirement by adding additional steps and verifications. To avoid duplication of steps, you want to update the test.
Case 03: update the E2E test case

Process to update a test case

Case 01: Change in the Requirement
Go to the test in the master test suite in the Test Design tab of qTest

Observe that you can see the existing test steps and verifications

Observe that you can see the existing test steps and verifications

To add additional steps/verifications click ADD and add the steps

Observe that you can see the existing test steps and verifications

Save the changes and mark the test for review

Change the status of the test to ‘Ready for Review’ and change ‘assigned to’ to your test lead

Demonstration

Case 02: Reuse existing test to cover additional requirements

Go to the test in the master test suite in the Test Design tab of qTest

To cover the additional requirement, we need to add additional steps and verifications
To add additional steps/verifications click ADD and add the steps

Case 03: Update an E2E test case
Change the status of the test to ‘Ready for Review’ and change ‘assigned to’ to your test lead Go to the test in the master test suite in the Test Design tab of qTest

Case 03: Update an E2E test case

Change the status of the test to ‘Ready for Review’ and change ‘assigned to’ to your test lead

Go to the test in the master test suite in the Test Design tab of qTest

Link the new requirement to the test using How Do I? - Requirements | Link an Existing Test to a Given Requirement
Save the changes and mark the test for review

Observe that you can see the existing test steps and verifications

Use the in-line editors to update the existing steps

To add additional steps/verifications click ADD and add the steps

Save the changes and mark the test for review
Change the status of the test to ‘Ready for Review’ and change ‘assigned to’ to your test lead
You have updated the test successfully

Create A New Test Case

Before you write a new test

Search if an existing test covers the scenario using How Do I? - Test Cases | Search For A Test
If an existing test covers the scenario, link the existing test to the requirement using How Do I? - Requirements | Link an Existing Test to a Given Requirement
If you need to update a test [add additional steps / verifications ] to cover the new scenario, update test using How Do I? - Test Cases | Update An Existing Test Case and link the updated test to the requirement using How Do I? - Requirements | Link an Existing Test to a Given Requirement
For creating test cases for a given requirement How Do I? - Requirements | Create Test Cases for a Given Requirement


Creating a new test for a given requirement
Prerequisite You should be aware of the requirement for which you are writing the test Select the requirement in the application/project feature set - in the qTest requirements tab You can see the ‘Create Associated Test Cases’ section on the right pane

Creating a new test for a given requirement

Prerequisite
You should be aware of the requirement for which you are writing the test
Select the requirement in the application/project feature set - in the qTest requirements tab
You can see the ‘Create Associated Test Cases’ section on the right pane

Add the test names along with the description of tests and click create [you may create as many tests as you wish to]. Click Save

Observe that the tests are added to the linked test cases

Observe that the tests are reflected in the test design tab
the requirement is linked to the tests

Add the test steps to the test cases

Fill the test case properties as required
Save the test case, change the status of the test to ‘Ready for Review’ and change ‘assigned to’ to your test lead
Test cases for the given requirement are created!

Create An End-to-End Test Case

Before you write a new end-to-end test

Search if an existing test covers the scenario using How Do I? - Test Cases | Search For A Test
If you need to update a test [add additional steps / verifications ] to cover the new scenario, update the test using How Do I? - Test Cases | Update An Existing Test Case

Creating a new end-to-end test case

Prerequisite

You should be aware of the user journey flow for the E2E test
Go to the Master Test Suite and navigate to the E2E journey hierarchy in Test Design of qTest

Give an appropriate name to the test title - The test name shall reflect the user journey
Fill the test case properties as required
Add the Test steps and verifications
