How to Create and Assign Tags

You can easily create tags directly to Test Cases or Suites via their titles

1. Open Test Case/ Suite
2. Click Edit button
3. Create tag starting with @ symbol, directly within the Test Case or Suite title
4. Click Save button

All previously created tags are automatically saved in the system. To reuse a tag, simply type the @ symbol in the Test Case title field and select the desired tag from the autocomplete dropdown.

Note

In case if you don’t see a previously created tag in the autocomplete dropdown, refresh the page. Alternatively, go to Settings -> Project and click the ‘Recalculate Tags’ button.

How to Filter by Tags

1. Enable Filters
2. Select one or a few Tags from Tag dropdown list
3. Click Apply button

Tag Extraction Rules in Titles

When writing titles, Testomat.io automatically detects tags marked with the @ symbol. However, not every @ occurrence is considered a valid tag. Below are detailed examples showing when tags are recognized and when they are ignored.

✅ Valid Tag Examples

"title with a simple @tag and some other @tag1"
→ tags: ["tag", "tag1"]

"@tag1 supertitle with leading tag and @tag inside title"
→ tags: ["tag1", "tag"]

"title with commed taglist @tag1: @tag2."
→ tags: ["tag1", "tag2"]

"title with commed taglist @tag1, @tag2.asd"
→ tags: ["tag1", "tag2.asd"]

"title @tag1. zxc"
→ tags: ["tag1"]

"title @tag1.asd zxc"
→ tags: ["tag1.asd"]

🚫 Ignored or Invalid Tags

"title with email test@test.test"
→ tags: []

"some_text_@tag"
→ tags: []

"some_text-@tag"
→ tags: []

"some_text*@tag"
→ tags: []

➕ Math Operators in Tags

"title with commed taglist @tag1+@tag2=@tag3"
→ tags: ["tag1"]

"title with commed taglist @tag1-@tag2=@tag3"
→ tags: ["tag1"]

"title with commed taglist @tag1*@tag2=@tag3"
→ tags: ["tag1"]

"title with commed taglist @tag1=@tag2=@tag3"
→ tags: ["tag1"]

"'title @tag1=:-.( asd"
→ tags: ["tag1"]

"'title @tag1=:-.) asd"
→ tags: ["tag1=:-.)"]

🔗 Tags Inside and Outside Brackets

Outside brackets (ignored):

"some_text (sometext)@tag1 [sometext]@tag3"
→ tags: []

Inside brackets (partially detected):

"title (text @tag1)asda other text"
→ tags: ["tag1)asda"]

"title (text @tag1) asda"
→ tags: ["tag1)"]

"title (text @tag1( asda"
→ tags: ["tag1"]

"title [text @tag1]asda"
→ tags: ["tag1"]

"title [text @tag1] asda"
→ tags: ["tag1"]

With these rules, you can better understand how tags are parsed from titles and avoid common pitfalls such as emails, operators, or invalid symbols.

Best Practices for Using Tags in Titles

To ensure your tags are recognized consistently and remain easy to manage:

• Use simple words → keep tags short, lowercase, and descriptive (e.g., @smoke, @regression).
• Avoid special characters → symbols like +, -, *, _, or = can break parsing or truncate tags.
• Don’t use emails or URLs → anything in the form name@domain.com is ignored.
• Separate tags with spaces or commas → @smoke, @ui is correctly detected, while @smoke@ui may not be.
• Prefer placing tags at the end of titles → improves readability and reduces the chance of misparsing inside brackets or punctuation.
• Keep consistency across your project → agree on a common set of tags within your team to make filtering and reporting easier.
