Test Case Creation and Editing

When a new project is created, there are multiple options to start:

1. Create new suite and start adding tests
2. Import automated tests from source code
3. Import tests from CSV file from another Test Management System

Creating a Test

Tests are created within a suite.

To create a new suite use ”+” button or input field. Open a newly created suite.

To add a new test to the suite you are currently in, click on New Test button.

Then input the name and the description of your test.

It is also possible to create the test straightaway from this screen. Simply input the test’s title and click on the Create button. You can add the description at any time later.

Repeating these steps, you can easily add as many tests as you need within a reasonable period of time.

Also, you can use shortcut commands to create/edit Test Cases or Suites. Visit the Keyboard Shortcuts page to learn more.

Edit Steps in Test Case Preview

After your test cases are created, Testomat.io offers a convenient feature for quick editing - Edit Steps. This allows you to modify steps and expected results directly from the test case preview page.

To use this feature, ensure that the Steps title is included in the test case description. Once that is set, you will see the Edit Steps option near the Steps title.

To edit steps from the test case preview window, follow these steps:

1. Click the Edit Steps button.

2. Click Add Step button on displayed modal.

3. Add steps and expected results, if needed.
4. Click Save button.

Note

If you want to use the Edit Steps feature on a test case that already has steps added, be aware that it will affect the previous formatting!

For example, if you used the pattern displayed below, after clicking Edit Steps you need to delete Expected result wording as it will be added automatically after you save changes.

## Steps

2. Click on the displayed button.

By clicking on the resize button on one image, all attachments in the test case will automatically resize.

Add Drawing to Test

Including drawings in test case descriptions can improve clarity by visually representing complex UI layouts and interactions that are difficult to explain through text alone.

To add a drawing to a test case, enter the edit mode and click on the Draw button.

You’ll see a window with a set of drawing tools. You can select different elements from the top panel (2) and apply styles to them from the side panel (3). When you are done with the drawing, click on the Save button (4).

After saving the changes in the edit mode, you will see a preview of the drawing in the test case description:

How to add a label/tag to a test

This option is the easiest one! You simply need to add the label’s name (preceeded by @ char) in the name field of the test. The drop-down list of tags already used in projects appears, when you type the @ symbol.

And now you can see your label/tag in the test list next to the test’s title.

How to assign a test to a user

If you want to assign a certain test to a certain user, you should click on this user icon in the upper right corner of the window, as shown in the picture.
