Hi,

I am assessing the trial version, is it possible to have order on test case execution on test plan or test run ?

The test case marked in red was the last added to the test plan but it is displayed between others when added.
Is it possible to define order when adding test cases ? Or is there a workaround for this.

Thanks,
Danilo

Hi Danilo and welcome to the forum!

The order of test cases in the test plan and test run is always determined by the order of the test cases in their folder, no matter when the test cases is added to a run or plan.

I.e. when on the “Test cases” page, drag and drop test cases to move them to another folder or to another position within the folder. The test runs and test plans will then inherit that order.

For more information, have a look at this section in the documentation:

Ahh, you try to re-use test cases in order to define workflows to test?
This is actually not what Testiny test cases are intended for, simply because you can add each test case only once to a test run - so they are unfortunately not reusable.

The long term concept is to use test cases with the “Steps” template, i.e. define steps in a test, but allow to re-use common steps in other test cases.
We do not provide these common/reusable steps right now, but when we add them, we plan to also add an automatic way to turn existing similar steps into reusable ones.

Hi Alex,

So if the test cases keep the order from the folder a workaround is to duplicate them or define test cases with more steps and detail instead of being able to reuse test cases
