Understand Test Case Components

When you click on any Test case key in the test case table, you'll be redirected to the Test Case Detail Screen. On this screen, you can view more detailed Jira-related information associated with the test case.

1. Test Case Basic Information

1.1 Storage Path

In the top left corner of the Test Case detail, you can see the structure and details of a test case. This storage path helps you in three ways:

Locating: Identify the folder & subfolder where the test case is organized. For example, Test Case URF-23 belongs to the Front-end Subfolder, inside the User Registration Feature Folder.
Sharing: Copy the Test Case ticket to share within your teams.
Redirecting: Click on the Jira ID to access the Jira ticket for this test case.

1.2 Jira Status

The Status box shows the Jira status of the test case ticket (TODO; IN PROGRESS; DONE). It reflects the progress of the test case in your team's workflow on the Jira board.

To change this status to match your team’s testing process, click on the dropdown and select the right Jira status.

Updating the Jira status on the Test Case Detail screen syncs it with the Jira ticket, and vice versa.

1.3 Assignee

The Assignee box shows who is responsible for this test case. To change the assignee, click the dropdown and select a team member.

Updating the Assignee on the Test Case Detail screen syncs it with the Jira ticket, and vice versa.

2 Details

The Details tab of each test case shows the test case type and displays the test case structure according to that type.

Each test case in AgileTest is created using a test type, which defines how the test case is structured and executed. The selected test type directly determines what is displayed in the Test Case Detail screen, especially in the Details tab.

Different test types support different testing approaches, so the layout and content of the test case details will vary depending on whether the test case is Manual, Cucumber, or Generic.

2.1 Manual Test Case

For Manual test cases, the Details tab includes a dedicated area for test steps. Each test step consists of an Action, Sample Data, and Expected Result.

You can create and edit test steps here to define a clear sequence of actions used to verify the test case.
