Test Management
Test management lives in the workspace. It connects what you plan to verify with the work items you deliver.
The test management workflow
Test management uses four objects:
| Object | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Test case | Describes one thing to check. |
| Test plan | Groups the test cases that run together. |
| Test run | Executes a plan and records the results. |
| Test run template | Stores a reusable run configuration. |
A typical flow is:
- Write test cases.
- Group related cases into a test plan.
- Create a test run from the plan.
- Execute the run and record the results.
- Link failures to work items.
- Review coverage and reports.
Where the module lives
The workspace sidebar has these test management pages:
- Test Cases
- Test Plans
- Templates
- Test Runs
- Reports
The coverage report is a tab on the Reports page.
What each page covers
- Test cases: fields, folders, labels, steps, and BDD.
- Test plans: group cases for execution.
- Test runs: execute a plan and record results.
- Test run templates: reuse a run configuration.
- Coverage: measure which work items have test cases.
- Reports: analyze results across runs.
