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.

Best practicesBest practices

  • Always assign both - give every test case a type and a priority so reports and filters stay meaningful.
  • Use priority for release risk - mark how critical it is that this test passes before release.
  • Use type for purpose - group cases by testing purpose such as functional, regression, or smoke test.
