Create an Automation Test Case in SimplifyQA

An automation test case is a set of instructions or scripts designed to execute a test scenario automatically without human intervention. It outlines the steps to be performed, the expected results, and the verification conditions for a particular test scenario.

In this section we will guide you through the process of creating automation test cases within our test case management tool.

Prerequisites:

• A clear understanding of the software feature or functionality you're testing.

• Access to the project for which you want to create automation test case.

• SimplifyQA Wizard needs to be installed and running. Learn how to setup Wizard here Setup QAWIzard.

How to create Automation Test Case?

SimplifyQA empowers teams of all technical/non-technical backgrounds to create powerful automation tests without writing a single line of code. Our intuitive platform transforms the way you approach test automation, making it accessible to everyone.

Let's explore how you can harness the power of scriptless automation to accelerate your testing efforts and deliver higher quality software.

1. Navigate to Test Case

To create a new automation test case in SimplifyQA, open your desired project and navigate to test case section from the left menu.

1. Create a Test Case

Locate the '+ Test Case' button and choose 'Automation' and select the desired platform for which you are creating an automation test case.

1. Create Test Steps:

• Click the "Add Step" button to start creating test steps.

• For each step, provide:

  • Object:

    • Identify the element on the page (e.g., username text box) and capture the object using web inspector. Select the captured object in the step.

    • If you want to re-use the already captured object, locate the object dropdown, it would list the objects available for a particular technology.

    For Example: If you are creating an automation test case for a web application, for test case type 'WEB' all the web objects would be listed in the object dropdown. You can choose the desired object.

• Action: Select the action to be performed on the object (e.g., Click, Type Text, etc). Refer to the Action docs to understand the supported action in SimplifyQA.

• Parameter: Specify required parameters for the action (e.g., text to be typed). Recommended to re-use the parameters available or create a new parameter.

• Add Test Data: Define test data that can be varied for different test runs. This allows for data-driven testing.

Sequentially add test steps to create end to end automated test. Design comprehensive test flows by combining various actions and conditions to mimic real-world user interactions.

1. Define Test Case Details:

• Specify the test case name and module and Save your test case. Learn how to organise and manage test cases here Organise your Test Cases.

• Pre-requisites: Any setup or conditions required before executing the test case, you can mention them in the form of checklist.

• User Story: If you are defining the test case for a user story, then you can select the user story. Learn more

• Defect: If you are defining the test case for a defect, then you can select the defect in details section. Learn more
