Creating Test Cases

There are multiple ways to create test cases in OneTest.

​
Test Case Components

Title: Short, clear summary of what’s being tested
Good: "Verify user can login with valid credentials"
Bad:  "Login test"
Description: Detailed explanation of the test purpose and scope
Each step should have:
  • Action: What the tester should do
  • Expected Result: What should happen
Example:
1. Navigate to login page       → Login form is displayed
2. Enter valid username          → Username field accepts input
3. Enter valid password          → Password is masked
4. Click Login button            → User is redirected to dashboard
What must be true before running this test:
  • User account exists
  • User is not logged in
  • Test data is available
Specific data needed for this test:
  • Username: test@example.com
  • Password: Test123!
  • Expected role: Admin
Tags: Categorize for easy filtering
  • smoke: Critical path tests
  • regression: Run before releases
  • feature-name: Group by feature
Folders: Hierarchical organization
  • Authentication/Login/Valid Credentials
  • Checkout/Payment/Credit Card
