Designing and Executing a Test Plan

Designing a Test Plan

Design test cases, develop automated testing scripts, and prepare test data based on specified test requirements.

1. Log in to the CodeArts homepage, search for your target project, and click the project name to access the project.
2. In the navigation pane, choose Testing > Testing Plan.
3. Select a test plan to be designed from the list.
   • Hover over Design. The design progress is displayed, including the numbers of test cases, requirements, and covered requirements.

     After a test case is created, the Design circle changes from gray to blue, indicating that the test plan is under design.

   • Click Design to go to the Testing Case page.

4. On the Manual Test tab page, click Import in the right area and select Adding Existing Cases from the drop-down list.
   

   If no test case has been created or you need to create a test case, click Create Case. For details, see Creating a Manual Test Case. The new test case is also added to the test case library.

5. In the displayed dialog box, select a test case and click OK.
6. Click the Auto API Test tab and add or create API automation test cases to the test plan by referring to Step 4 or Creating an API Automation Test Case.
7. Click the test plan name in the upper left corner of the page to switch to another test plan, or view the global test case library.

   The global test case library displays all test cases of all test plans in the current version. You can maintain the global test case library as required.

Executing a Test Plan

1. Return to the Testing Plan page and select the test plan to be executed from the list.
   • Move the cursor over Execute to view the execution progress of the test plan. Statistics include the test progress, number of executed test cases, pass rate, and completed bugs/total bugs.

     After a test case is executed, the Execute circle changes from gray to blue, indicating that the test plan is under test.

   • Click Execute. The Testing Execution page is displayed.

2. On the Manual Test tab page, click in the Operation column to execute a manual test suite of multiple test cases. If no test suite is available, create one by referring to Creating a Manual Test Suite.

3. Click the Auto API Test tab and execute an API automation suite by referring to Executing an API Automation Test Suite.
4. Set the status of all test cases in the test plan to Completed. Then the status of the test plan is automatically updated to Completed.
   

   On the Testing Plan page, click Execute. The Testing Execution page is displayed. You can create a test suite to execute the cases in the test plan.
