What You Can Do
Organize with Folders
- Create nested folder structures
- Group tests by feature, team, or priority
- Drag-and-drop to reorganize
- Schedule entire folders for execution
Manage Test Cases
- Create new tests from the Create button
- Configure title, tags, and folder location
- Duplicate existing tests
- Move tests between folders
- Delete tests you no longer need
Reuse with Snippets
- Extract common flows (like login) into snippets
- Insert snippets into any test
- Update once, apply everywhere
- Store browser state for efficiency
Categorize with Tags
- Add tags to tests for filtering
- Schedule tests by tag
- Create tag-based reports
- Quick filtering in Test Explorer
Configure Test Settings
- Set browser type and viewport
- Configure timeouts
- Enable/disable auto-healing
- Set environment defaults
Organization Best Practices
Folder Structure
Organize by what makes sense for your team: By Feature:Naming Conventions
Tests:- Use action-oriented names: “User can reset password”
- Be specific: “Guest checkout with credit card”
- Include the outcome: “Search returns relevant results”
- Keep names short and clear
- Use consistent capitalization
- Avoid deep nesting (2-3 levels max)
- Use lowercase:
smoke,regression,p0 - Keep tags consistent across tests
- Document tag meanings for your team
Maintenance Tips
- Regular cleanup - Remove obsolete tests
- Update snippets - Keep shared flows current
- Review tags - Consolidate similar tags
- Flatten deep structures - Don’t over-nest folders
