• Simplify Test Run preparation by pre-organizing test cases.
• Maintain consistency in test case selection and order across different Test Runs.
• Ensure a structured testing approach, minimizing the risk of missing critical areas.

‍

‍Key Features of a Test Plan

1. Purpose

A Test Plan defines a collection of test cases that are executed together during a Test Run.

Learn what is a Test Run here.

‍

2. Reusability

Test Plans serve as reusable templates, allowing you to:

• Use the same Test Plan to create multiple Test Runs.
• Avoid the need to reselect or rearrange test cases for each new Test Run.

‍

3. Customization

Customize Test Plans by:

• Adding Test Cases: Include test cases relevant to the testing objective.
• Updating Details: Modify the Test Plan’s title, description, or included test cases anytime.
• Reordering Test Cases: Arrange test cases in Checklist View Mode using drag-and-drop for a custom sequence without altering their order in a Grouped-by-Suite View Mode.
