Test plans combine related test cases into an executable unit. Although it is possible to execute single test cases on their own in easeTest, typical test scenarios consist of more than one test case. Such scenarios are represented by test plans in easeTest.

Test plans belong to a specific test project. They are identified by their name and can also have an optional description.

The test cases contained in a test plan are organized in a hierarchical directory structure, using folders to gather together related test cases. Although test plans are project-specific, they can contain test cases from other test projects. However, it is recommended that the test cases in a plan all belong to the same project as the plan.

Test plans are accessed in two different views:

  • The Plan View is list of a project’s test plans. You create and manage test plans in this view.

  • The Plan Tree View displays the contents of a particular test plan. This view is an extension of the project’s definition tree, and allows you to add test cases and structure them in a hierarchy.
