Manual test parameters

Manual test cases can include test parameters, allowing you to run the same test case with different data. When you run a test case with multiple sets of parameters, Allure TestOps will create a launch with multiple test results (one for each specified parameter set).

To add test parameters to a test case:

1. Go to Test cases.
2. Open a test case.
3. In the top right corner of the screen, click ⋯ and select Edit parameters.

You should see the following window.

The window is divided into two parts. In the left part, you can add and edit test parameters, which you then need to transfer to the right part by clicking the Combine button. Only the set of parameters you see in the right part of the window will be applied to the test case when you click the Submit button.

As an example, let's say we need to test two features (Feature A and Feature B) with different levels of credentials (as an administrator and as a regular user). To do that, we will add two test parameters using the Add parameter button: Account type and Feature. Then, we will specify two values for Account type (Administrator and User) and two values for Feature (Feature A and Feature B).

After that, we need to choose how we want to combine these parameters.

• All values — combine each value of one parameter with one value of every other parameter.
  {A, B} ⋈ {1, 2} = {(A, 1), (B, 2)}

• All pairs — combine each value of one parameter with each value of other parameters.
  {A, B} × {1, 2} = {(A, 1), (A, 2), (B, 1), (B, 2)}

Since we want to test both features for both types of account, we will choose All pairs and click Combine.

The table that will appear on the right is the final set of parameters and values that will be applied to the test case. Each table row corresponds to one test result that will be created when you run the test case.

This table can also be modified using the buttons at the top. For example, if we don't need to test Feature B as an administrator, we can delete that row by placing the text cursor inside any cell in that row and clicking the Delete row button (left trash can icon at the top).

To finish editing the test parameters, click Submit.

Now, when we run the test case, we should see that the launch contains multiple test results with different parameter values.
