Access Linked Artefacts to Test Case
In SimplifyQA, every test case can be linked with essential artefacts like Defects, Test Suites, and Test Data. This feature ensures each test case is fully traceable, context-aware, and connected across the lifecycle—from requirement to release.
Why does this matter? Because in testing, traceability isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s non-negotiable. Whether you're running regression cycles, generating audit reports, or just trying to figure out what broke and why, having everything mapped means less guesswork and more clarity.
How to Access Linked Artefacts
Go to the Test Case
Open the User Navigation Panel.
Navigate to Test Management > Test Cases.
Click the “View Details” button of the test case you want to view.
Explore Linked Artefact Tabs At the top-right of the test case details page, you’ll find direct access to:
Defect
Suites
Test Data
View Linked Defects
Click on Defect to view all issues raised from this test case.
Redirects you to the Defects Module.
See defects in Board View, List View, or Matrix View.
This provides a quick lens into the quality and stability of the test coverage.
View Mapped Suites
Click on Suites to find out where this test case is being executed.
Redirects to the Suites Module.
Displays all test suites this test case is part of.
Helps you understand the functional and regression impact of this test case across different test runs.
View and Edit Test Data
Click on Test Data to manage input values for the test case.
View all data sets, with the ability to Add Rows for new iterations.
Control data based on environment (Dev, QA, UAT, etc.) using the dropdown on the top right.
Modify data inline to suit changing test conditions or requirements.
Why Mapping Artefacts matters?
Mapping artefacts like defects, test data, and suites to your test cases is critical for:
Full traceability across requirements, tests, and results
Smarter reporting and decision-making
Clear impact analysis when a test fails
Creating a connected test ecosystem rather than isolated test scripts
Easy identification of gaps or overlaps in coverage
Making your project audit-ready with traceability matrices
Best Practices
Always link your test cases to their relevant artefacts. A test case without linked data is like a GPS with no signal—it exists, but it won’t help you get where you're going.
