Test Cases: The building blocks of testing

Learn how you can create projects and test cases in BrowserStack Test Management.

Test cases are the fundamental units of testing within a project. A test case describes a specific scenario to be tested, including the steps to execute, the expected outcomes, and the criteria for success. Managing test cases involves creating, editing, deleting, copying, moving, and exporting them as needed. Effective test case management ensures that all possible scenarios are covered, reducing the risk of defects slipping through the cracks.

Test cases can also be filtered based on various criteria, allowing you to focus on particular aspects of the application. Additionally, shared steps across test cases help maintain consistency and reduce redundancy, making it easier to manage large numbers of test cases.

Create Test Case from Test Management

To create a Test Case:

You can also add a Test Case if the folder or project is new, enter the Test Case name and click Add. It adds the test case to the folder.

Import Projects and Test Cases

Alternatively, you can quickly import your projects from TestRail or Zephyr Scale. Also, you can import data using a .csv file into an existing project.

Viewing Test Case count in nested folders

Default view on the Test Cases page

Each folder displays two key metrics, X(Y):

• Immediate Test Case count (X): This is the number of Test Cases directly within the folder, not including those in subfolders.
• Cumulative Test Case count (Y): This is the total number of all Test Cases within the folder, including those nested in all subfolders.

The folder structure is typically hierarchical, with subfolders indented under parent folders. Each folder displays immediate and cumulative counts, providing insight into local and total Test Case numbers.
