Specifying Test Suite and Test Cases

For those who work with tests this part may be slightly easier than the previous sections. What we are going to do now is to create a test suite and some test cases. In TestLink your test cases are kept under a test suite which is, by its turn, under a test project.

Back to the main screen, in the top menu you will see the option Test Specification. Click on this option. The test specification screen is quite simple. On the left you have the navigator, with the settings, filter and the tree of test suites and test cases. Start clicking on your test project to see the test suite operations available.

Create a test suite with any name that you want. This field is not important for this tutorial. Once created, your test suite will be displayed in the tree on the left. Now click on the test suite in the tree to see the available test case operations.

Create a test case with any title or summary. The important information on this screen for the automation are the execution type and the Java class (custom field created in the previous step). In execution type select Automated and for Java class fill with the java class jenkins.plugins.testlink.examples.TestCurrentTime (present in the example project).
