How do I add Test Cases?

 

Overview

 

Validating the data created and managed by your web application is the key to assuring web application quality. A test case type of checkpoint provide the options to validate the data and multiple attributes of GUI objects in your web application.

 

Adding Test Case

 

In the Test Case Configuration screen,

    1. Click the Add button.

    2. Specify the appropriate values for Test Case ID, Description and Severity.

    3. Choose one of the radio button to add GUI, or Database CheckPoint.

      1. Adding HTML/GUI CheckPoints

      2. Adding Database CheckPoints

Adding HTML/GUI CheckPoints

  1. Select the radio button HTML Check. Following are the sub-options displayed:

    1. Element - To verify the attributes of HTML/GUI objects in a Web browser such as select, check-box, etc.

The attributes of the selected object are displayed in a table in the TestCase Configuration dialog screen. This screen includes three columns Property (name of the property), Value (value of the property) and a Browse button next to each Value field to add data-driven element checkpoint wherein the data can be fetched from test scripts using an external database, CSV file or using environmental or user-defined variable substitution option. Please refer to Creating Data-Driven Test Cases for details.

  3. By default, all the properties are selected. Deselect the properties which are not required.

  4. Choose Commit to List. This adds the Checkpoint type to the Checkpoint Configuration list.

  5. To add another Checkpoint, choose the Add button below Checkpoint Configuration list and proceed to add any Checkpoint condition of choice.
