Case Types
Case types help you categorise test cases by their purpose. They are defined at the project level and shared across all versions in that project. When creating or editing a test case you can assign it a type from the Type dropdown in the Test Case Overview panel.
Default case types
QAlity provides a set of default case types for every project:
| Case Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Functional | Tests specific functionality or features of the application |
| Regression | Ensures existing functionality works after changes |
| Smoke Test | Quick verification tests to check basic functionality |
| Integration | Tests interaction between different system components |
| Performance | Evaluates system speed, scalability, and stability |
All case type names can be renamed and new ones can be added to suit your team's workflow.
How to create a Case Type
-
Open a project and open Case Types
Open a project and click the Case Types tab.
-
Click + Create Case Type
Click + Create Case Type in the top right.
-
Use the default case type or create new ones
Each project already has a pre-created case type. You can create more case types as needed.
The new case type appears as a card and is immediately available in the Type dropdown across all versions in this project.
How to rename a Case Type
Click directly on the case type name on its card. Type the new name and save.
How to delete a Case Type
Click the red trash icon on the case type card and confirm deletion.
Best practices
- Use case types that reflect your team's actual testing workflow
- Keep names short and clear so they are easy to select from the dropdown
- Add a description to each type so all team members understand its purpose
- Delete case types that are no longer used to keep the list clean
