Create and manage TestCases

TestCases are a series of TestSteps that run from a defined starting point to a defined ending point. TestCases are structured with TestCase folders.

A TestCase describes an elementary and functional sequence, which is used for the verification of one or more properties on the basis of a specification. Important elements of a TestCase that have to be defined prior to the test execution are as follows:

• the entries needed for the execution of the TestCase

• the expected output or reactions to the entries on the part of the application to be tested

• the expected follow-up conditions that result from the execution of the TestCase

Deviations from the expected result are identified as an error.

The starting and ending point of every single TestCase should always be identical and standardized (for instance the main menu of the application or the starting mask).

This guarantees that various TestCases can be merged into large sequences without any manual interactions.

In addition, in case of error situations during the execution of TestCases, an appropriate access point for continuing automated tests with the next TestCase is known beforehand.
