Understanding Test Cases and Their Structure

Definition

• Test Case
  A prepared scenario or action that should be tested. It is created as a task in a selected tracker.
• Test Plan
  A set of selected Test Cases. You can execute them together.
• Execution
  The act of running the Test Cases, recording the result of each step.

How It Works

Global Level of Test Cases

At the global level, you can manage all Test Cases across projects.
You can find this under Global menu >> Test Cases.

Here you can:

• See all Test Cases.
• Filter them.
• Manage Test Plans.
• Start executions from plans or single cases.

Project Level of Test Cases

Inside a project, you can activate the Test Cases module.
This allows you to:

• See only Test Cases from the current project.
• Create and manage Test Cases and Plans directly in the project.
• Execute Test Cases and Plans for the project only.

Test Plans and Executions

• Test Plans help you group Test Cases for execution.
• You can execute plans or single Test Cases.
• Each execution is recorded, including the result, comment, and attached files if needed.
• You can run multiple executions on the same Test Case.

Conclusion

Understanding the structure of Test Cases in Easy8 helps you to manage testing efficiently.
You can work globally or inside projects, group cases into plans, and record results through executions.
