A test case is a set of steps that mimic a user flow. You can find an overview of all your test cases in the test case section of the project overview page or in the test cases page accessible from the left sidebar. It is the place where you can add, edit or delete test cases. From here, you can also grow your test suite by having our AI agent generate new tests based on specific test cases. Tests are displayed in dependency view mode as default. It shows the test case hierarchy - how tests are chained together and which tests will run after which when executed.

Views

You have 2 options to view your test cases. In the dependencies view, you can see the test cases as they chain together in execution sequences:

Or you can use the customizable folders view. If you don’t like the dependency tree view and prefer your own arrangement, you can use the folder view now. Create new folders and move your test cases into them to organize your list as you wish.

Organize tests in folders

In the folders view, use a unique name to create and edit folder as you wish. Use the into folder icon in the test case you want to move. You can also pick folders right from the start when creating tests.

​
Use tags

We added customizable tags to test cases so you can slice & dice your test suites and run the happy path tests more frequently or tag to exclude your flaky tests. Go to the test case, add a tag and save the test.

You can use tags to filter and shard test execution. Right now, only available via CI/CD and curl, but we’re working on the UI part.

Activate your tests for execution

The more your test suite grows, the more important it gets to keep an overview over which of your tests are executed and contained in the newest test report. In Octomind, we speak of active test cases, which are all the tests being run when a test report is triggered.

Our Agent sets newly created tests to active by default, but you can always set the active status according to your liking. Use the toggle button to switch the test between ON and OFF.
