Create a Test

When you start a new project, choose Create a new suite to add tests manually. To add tests tou haw 3 possibilities:

  • write the test and its description,
  • create test with the title only,
  • create several tests in a bulk.

Three ways to create a test: a full test with a description, a quick test from a title, and a bulk list

You can also import automated tests from source code or a CSV file. See Import tests.

The three start options on a new project: create a suite, import from source code, import from CSV

  1. Go to the Tests page.
  2. Open a suite or create one.
  3. Click New Test.
  4. Enter the test title.

  1. Open a suite.
  2. Enter the test title.
  3. Click Create.

Creating a test straight from the title field with the Create button

Open test to add the details.

  2. Turn on the Bulk toggle.
  3. Enter one test title per line.
  4. Click Create.

Each written title in a line becomes a separate test in the suite. It is similar to the Quick Test Creation but a bit in other way. This is useful when you want to create the tests first and add description later.

You can also use keyboard shortcuts to create and edit tests and suites.

All four save options save your changes. Choose one based on what you want to do next.
