UI Step | The Test Repository concept enables the hierarchical organization of Tests at the project level by allowing you to organize Tests in folders. This is a different approach from the traditional way of organizing Tests in flat lists by using Test Sets, which was the only available method before Xray v3.0. Users coming from legacy Test Management tools may find this approach more natural and intuitive. Other organizations may prefer to not enable this feature at all and choose the Test Set approach instead. Thus, a general setting, available in Global Preferences, allows you to globally opt-in or opt-out of this hierarchical way of organizing Tests. Key conceptsWithin the Test Repository screen are meta-folders that provide you quick ways to see or filter relevant Tests. These folders are read-only and will be used mainly to select the proper Tests before adding them to folders within the Test Repository.
Aside from these folders, you can also see the actual Test Repository, which contains the hierarchically organized tests.
Multiple folders can be created and Tests can be added to them. The root folder may only contain folders.Similar to traditional operating systems (e.g., Windows, OSX, Linux), Tests may only be part of one folder.Tests can be "added" (i.e., moved) from the All or from the Orphans meta-folders to the destination Test Repository folder by selecting and moving them using drag-and-drop. Tests can also be moved between folders. You can choose the Tests to add to a given folder by selecting the folder and clicking the Add Tests context action. Folders can be created at the root of the Test Repository or in any sub-folder within it. In a given parent folder, folders must not have similar names. For this, Xray does a case-insensitive check of the trimmedfolder name whenever you create or rename folder. This means that these folder names would all be considered the same: " phanTom", "phantom", "PHANTOM". Moreover, folder names must not use the following characters: "/", "\", apostrophe, "*". |
