Build, run & execute tests

Before you start Open the Tests module in your project. Know which requirement this test will verify.

1. Create a test case the usual way — + Add, or right-click in the tree and choose Add Item.
2. Give it a name and complete its fields.
3. In the test case's steps, add a step and fill in the Action (what the tester does) and the Expected result. Add a step for each action to verify.
4. For behavior-driven tests, switch a step to BDD to express it as Given / When / Then.
5. Save, then link the test case to the requirement it verifies (see Links).

Result A test case with ordered steps, linked to its requirement so coverage updates automatically.

1. Create a test plan for the scope you're verifying — a release, a feature, a regression pass.
2. Add the test cases that belong in it.

Result A plan you can run against. See Test plans for organizing larger efforts.

1. Start a new test run and give it a Run Name.
2. Choose the Test Plan to run, or Include all test cases.
3. Add a Description, set a Due Date, and attach it to a Milestone if you're tracking against one.
4. Add References (such as a requirement or external ticket) and assign the people who'll execute it.
5. Choose Create Test Run.

Result A run is created and assigned, ready to execute, and visible on the milestone you tied it to.

Before you start Open the run assigned to you.

1. Work through each test case step by step.
2. For each step, record the result — Pass, Fail, or Blocked — and note the actual result.
3. Attach Evidence (a screenshot, log, or file) where it's needed to prove the outcome.
4. On a failure, raise a Defect from the step so the problem is captured and linked.
5. Complete the run when every case has a result.

Result Results are recorded against each step with evidence attached, defects are linked back to the steps that found them, and verification status rolls up to the requirement and your dashboards.
