# Create Hybrid Test Case

In modern software testing, applications often require validation across multiple platforms, such as web, mobile, APIs, and databases. A **Hybrid Test Case** in **SimplifyQA** allows testers to combine different testing techniques within a single test case, ensuring a seamless and efficient way to test complex application flows. This approach enhances test coverage by integrating various testing methodologies into one structured workflow.

Let’s take an example which will walk you through the process of creating a hybrid test case using the **Bominso Salon Management Application**.&#x20;

The test case will cover the following flow:

1. Creating a new service via the web application and logging out of the application.
2. Resetting the password by fetching a link from a mobile device.
3. Sending an API request to update service details.

By following this example, you will learn how to leverage **Hybrid Test Cases** to enhance test automation and streamline multi-platform validations.
