Create Test Case Operation

 

Overview

 

When creating a new test case,  the user only needs to enter a test case ID and name. The DoxRunner application then copies the test case template and inserts it into the Solution document using the new ID and name.

 

An identifying bookmark is inserted in front of the new test case's heading and an entry is inserted into the table in the Test Case Summary section, with a link to the top of the new test case using the identifying bookmark as the target.

 

All bookmarks in the Test Case Template are also imported, and changed to include the Test Case ID. For example the bookmark to the Brief Description section for Test Case ID TC001 is changed from P_BriefDescription to P_TC001_BriefDescription.

 

Initial steps

 

  • Make sure you have completed all steps in the Getting Started pages;

  • Make sure you formulate the new Test Case ID carefully and conform to these rules:

The Test Case ID:

must begin with a letter and end in a digit;
must not have internal spaces;
must not be longer than 6 characters;
must not already exist.

The Test Case Short Name:

can contain any printable character, including internal spaces, up to 30 characters

The Test Case Long Name:

consists of the Test Case ID plus a space plus the Test Case Name;
must not be longer than 48 characters.

  • Open the Solution document;

  • Press the icon in the Quick Access toolbar that initiates the DoxRunner process as shown below:

At this point the Solution document is not saved.

 

Make sure you validate that the test case was integrated into it properly, then save it.
