The Test Plan Board is a Test Plan-level test organization feature that allows you to organize Tests in a hierarchical way via in folders. Always keep in mind that each Test Plan has an associated (Test Plan) Board and that a Test can only belong to one folder within the Board. 

...

A: Folders section

    • A1: "All" and "Orphans" metafoldersmeta-folders
    • A2: the Test Repository itself, composed of folders and sub-folders with Tests organized within them
    • A3: CRUD actions for the current selected folder (e.g. create, rename, delete)
    • A4: information about the number of Tests within in the current folder and the total Tests, including sub-folders

Info
titlePlease note

If you want to evaluate the overall status of your Test Plan for some Test Environment, you can do it in the "All" metafoldermeta-folder.

Folder Actions

A folder can be selected by clicking on it. 

...

Tests that were in one of the removed folders will not be erased; Tests will be removed from the Test Repository to the Orphans metafoldermeta-folder, so they can be organized in the Test Repository again, if needed.

...

Tests can be selected by clicking on them. Multiple selection is possible by using the "Ctrl" key (on Windows) or the "Cmd" key (on OS X). The "shift" keys can be used to select a list of Tests from the currently selected test to the clicked one If you want to select more than one Test and the Tests are listed consecutively, use the "Shift" key to quickly select an entire group. Click the first Test in the list you want to select, hold down the "Shift" key, scroll down to the last Test you want and click it. This selects the first item, the last item and all items in between.

You can also filter the list of visible Tests to make it easier to pick the Tests you need.

...

Filtering Tests is quite useful, for example, when creating the structure of the Board based on a subset of Tests from the All or Orphans metafoldersmeta-folders.

     

Moving to another folder

...

You can also use this operation for "adding" Tests (i.e. moving Tests) from the metafolders meta-folders (i.e. All, Orphans) to folders within the Test Repository.

...

In order to move Tests to the Orphans metafoldermeta-folder:

Step 1: Select the Tests you want.

...

The algorithm starts by adding the Tests of the folder, respecting their rank in the folder, and then iterates through the child folders; each . Each child folder is processed the same way.
