Test Case Types

Grouping test cases with similar characteristics is essential for efficient software testing. By grouping test cases according to their types, you can easily maintain test cases and analyze test results more effectively. Common types of test cases are functional, non-functional, integration, and so on.

They are best used when:

• You want to analyze your test results by test case types.
• You need to filter test cases by test case types.

While creating a test case on Testsigma, you can assign a type to it, to differentiate it from other test cases. This article discusses how to add, assign, edit, and delete test case types.
