Ordering items in manual test suites

You can order items in test case and manual test run suite folders to indicate the order tests should be run. For example, this may be helpful if running tests in a specific order is more efficient or if you have tests that are destructive in some way. When you generate manual test run suites from test case suites, the order in the test case suite is copied to the manual test run suite.

Order is displayed in the Order column on the List tab in the Folders list for test case and manual test run suites. Order is also displayed on the Folders tab in the Viewing and Editing Test Case and Manual Test Run pages.

Note:  You cannot order items in public folders you do not have permission to modify or any locked folders, which are indicated by a lock icon. See Managing access to folders.

1. Select the test case or manual test run suite folder in the Folders list when the List or Task Board tab is selected, and click Order Items.

The Order Items dialog box opens.

2. Select an item and click Move to First, Move Up, Move Down, or Move to Last to change the order. You can also drag and drop items to change the order if a search is not applied or click the current Order value and edit it. Click to apply the order.

3. Click Save to save the order.

The updated item order is displayed in the folder.

Note:  If items are added to the test case or manual test run suite while you are ordering them, they are appended to the end of the list. If you move ordered items to a different folder, the order is maintained in the destination folder. If the destination folder already contains ordered items, the items are appended to the end of the list.
