The Test Case Manager provides a centralized workspace for organizing, reviewing, updating, and executing Test Cases inside the Current Project.
It combines Test Case metadata, execution progress, build context, grouping, filtering, editing, and execution actions in one operational view.
Why it matters
- Gives teams one place to manage large Test Case libraries.
- Makes execution status and progress visible without opening every Test Case.
- Reduces repetitive navigation when managing assignments, priorities, builds, and execution settings.
When to use it
- When reviewing all Test Cases in the Current Project.
- When managing a large QA repository.
- When preparing Test Cases for execution.
- When reviewing progress across multiple testing groups.
Core concepts
- Test Case Table – The main project-level view of available Test Cases.
- Group – A classification used to organize related Test Cases together.
- Progress – The percentage of Test Steps that have been executed.
- Execution Source – Manual, Server, or Smart Agent.
- Build Context – The Build, Version, Platform, and Environment associated with a Test Case.
- Expanded Steps – Step-level information displayed directly from the Test Case table.
How it works
- AXQA loads Test Cases from the Current Project.
- Test Cases are displayed in a structured table.
- Test Cases are grouped using their assigned Group.
- Metadata and execution information are displayed directly in the table.
- Individual Test Cases can be expanded to review their steps.
- Supported fields can be edited directly from the table.
- Execution and status actions can be performed without rebuilding the Test Case.
How to use it
Step 1: Open Test Cases
Open the Test Cases section while the correct project is selected as your Current Project.
AXQA displays the Test Cases belonging to that project.
Step 2: Review the Test Case table
The table can display information such as:
- Title
- Assign To
- Bug Link
- Category
- Execution Source
- Priority
- Group
- Environment
- Build / Version / Platform
- Created By
- Created At
- Progress
Step 3: Use Groups
Test Cases are grouped by their configured Group.
Groups make it easier to organize Test Cases into logical sets such as:
- Smoke
- Regression
- Authentication
- Checkout
- Backend
- Release Validation
Test Cases without a Group are displayed under No Group.
Step 4: Expand a Test Case
Expand a Test Case row to review its Test Steps without leaving the main Test Case Manager.
Step information can include:
- Action
- Status
- Expected values
- Comparison configuration
- API-related information
Step 5: Review Progress
The Progress indicator shows how much of the Test Case has been executed.
Passed, Failed, Error, and Skipped steps count as executed.
Not Run steps remain incomplete.
Step 6: Use Test Case actions
Depending on the Test Case configuration, available actions may include:
- Edit
- Run
- Mark All Passed
- Review Audit History
- Delete
The Run action is available for supported API-driven Server or Smart Agent Test Cases.
Best practices
- Keep Test Cases grouped consistently.
- Use Category, Priority, and Group for different organizational purposes.
- Review the Current Project before making bulk changes.
- Check Progress and Step Status together instead of treating Progress as a pass rate.
- Keep Build and Execution Source information current before execution.
Common mistakes
❌ Treating Progress as the percentage of Passed steps.
✔ Progress represents how much of the Test Case has been executed.
❌ Leaving every Test Case without a Group.
✔ Use Groups to keep large Test Case libraries easier to navigate.
❌ Executing a Test Case without confirming its Build or Execution Source.
✔ Review execution context before starting the run.
Security & permissions
- The Test Case Manager is scoped to the user's Current Project.
- Test Cases from another project are not loaded into the active project view.
- Assignment and Build selections are validated against the Current Project.
- Project access controls continue to apply to Test Case operations.
