Create Test Cases Manually

You can create new test cases under 2 main approaches:

Directly in the Test Case section
Indirectly via the Requirement, Precondition, Test Plan & Test Execution section

This approach allows you to create only one test case type, which is the default test type configured in your Test Types settings. If you wish to create other test case types, you have to go to the AgileTest App Settings → Test Types → Change the default type.

1. Create Test Cases In The Test Cases Section

To do this, follow these steps:

On the left-hand side menubar, navigate to the Classic Test section → Choose Test Cases.
Select the “+ Test Case” button.

Fill in the details.

Summary Field: Enter a short and clear title that describes the purpose of the test case.
Description Field: Provide a detailed explanation of what the test case validates, including context, conditions, or acceptance criteria if applicable. This helps testers understand the intent of the test and execute it correctly.

2 Create Test Cases Inside A Specific Requirement, Precondition, Test Plan, and Test Execution Section

You can create test cases indirectly from a requirement, precondition, test plan, or execution section.

This indirect approach provides two key benefits:

Reduces manual linking: each test case created is automatically linked to the correct section.
Improves convenience: allows quickly create pop-up test cases during test planning or execution, without interrupting your workflow.
