Test Priority

Set a priority when creating a test, change it later, or update several tests at once. Priority appears next to the test title and helps you quickly find the tests that need attention.

Priority Levels

Choose the level that best describes the importance of the test.

Level	Use it for
low	Minor checks that rarely affect a release.
normal	Most tests. This is the default.
high	Tests that need extra attention.
important	Tests that are important for a feature or workflow.
critical	Tests that can block a release or other important work.

Your team can use these levels in the way that works best for your project. For example, you might use critical for release blockers, important for feature blockers, and high for tests that always run in regression.

Each priority has its own icon, so you can recognize it quickly in the test list and tree.

Set Priority When Creating a Test

Choose the priority while creating the test.

1. Go to the Tests page.
2. Click + New and then New test.
3. Enter the test title.
4. Click the priority icon to the left of the title field.
5. Select a priority.
6. Click Save.

Note

If you don’t select a priority, the test gets normal priority.

Change Priority

You can change the priority of an existing test at any time.

1. Open the test on the Tests page.
2. Click the priority icon to the left of the title field.
3. Select a new priority.
4. Close the test.

The new priority applies immediately. You don’t need to save the test.

Change Priority for Multiple Tests

Update several tests at once instead of opening them one by one. This is useful when you need to set priorities for a whole suite or a group of tests.

1. Go to the Tests page.
2. Turn on multi-select.
3. Select the tests you want to update.
4. Click Priority at the bottom of the page.
5. Select a priority.
6. Click Apply.

Filter Tests by Priority

Use the priority filter to quickly find tests with a specific priority.

1. Go to the Tests page.
2. Click the filter icon next to the search field.
3. In Priority, select one or more levels.
4. Click Apply.

You can combine the priority filter with other filters, such as tags, state, or assignee.
