# Testing Practices Details 

## Writing Tests

- Tests are created mainly through importing by using Test Case Importer.


## Planning & Organization Tests

- Heavily use of Test Repository
- Test Plans are created per Release (when applicable, one for User Acceptance Tests and other for System Integration Tests)


## Executing Tests

- Test executions are created per user ( each tester as their own test executions) per sprint - usually more than 20 Test Executions per Sprint
- In other projects, the test execution is created per sprint ( agile teams work on the same executions and organize it by labels)
