Selecting a Case Type or Priority

Case types and case priorities are assigned to individual test cases from the Test Case Overview panel. They are defined at the project level so the same options are available across all versions in the project.

Assigning a Case Type​

Open any test case. In the Test Case Overview panel on the right find the Type field. Click the dropdown and select the case type that best describes this test case. The available options come from the case types defined in the current project.

Assigning a Priority​

In the same Test Case Overview panel find the Priority field. Click the dropdown and select the priority level for this test case. The available options come from the case priorities defined in the current project.

Available options​

The dropdowns show all case types and priorities created for the current project. If you need to add, rename, or remove an option go to Settings - Projects, open the project, and update the Case Types or Case Priorities tab.

note

Case types and priorities are project-level settings. Any changes made there are immediately reflected in the dropdowns across all test cases in all versions of that project.

Best practices​

  • Assign a type and priority to every test case so reports and filters are meaningful
  • Use priority to indicate how critical it is that this test passes before release
  • Use type to group test cases by their testing purpose - functional, regression, smoke test, and so on
