Working with test cases in automation suites

You can work with test cases in an automation suite. You can add additional test cases to the suite, view test cases that are in the suite, and remove test cases that are no longer needed in the suite. You can also copy automated test script IDs for test cases to add them to scripts for automatic association between test cases and test results in Helix ALM.

1. Click Automation Suites in the left navigation area.

The Automation Suites list opens.

2. Select the suite, click Actions, and choose Edit. You can also click the suite name or number.

The suite page opens with the Details tab selected. You can only edit information on the Details tab, not the Summary or Builds tabs.

Note:  Click an area to expand or collapse it. Click the Expand All button to expand all areas or the Collapse All button to collapse expanded areas at the top of the page.

3. Go to the Test Cases area.

The test cases in the suite are displayed.

Tip:  To search for a test case in the list, enter a value in the search field. Matching results are displayed as you type.

The test cases are added to the suite.

Copying the automated test script ID

You can copy the automated test script ID related to a test case to the clipboard so you can paste it into a script. See Automatically associating automated test results with test cases for information about adding script IDs to scripts.

Tip:  You can also select multiple test cases and copy the script ID. The IDs will be comma separated when you paste them.
