Last updated
ContextQA provides a robust system for managing and validating test cases through Proof & Release processes. This guide will walk you through how to execute test cases, capture evidence, and complete the release process.
Log in to ContextQA and navigate to the Test Development section by clicking the pencil icon in the sidebar.
Select Test Plans from the dropdown menu.
Choose the Test Plan you want to work with. A Test Plan organizes your test suites and test cases for efficient management.
Within the selected Test Plan, locate the Test Suites that contain your test cases.
Identify the test suites based on the environment or specific scenarios you need to test.
Click the Run Manually button next to your chosen test suite.
This action creates a copy of the test suite for this specific run, which helps in maintaining and tracking test case execution.
You will be redirected to a new screen displaying the test cases to be executed.
Click on the desired test case to begin the execution.
ContextQA will automatically capture evidence such as screenshots, logs, and actions performed during the test.
During the test case execution, ContextQA captures evidence including screenshots and logs of every step.
Continue interacting with the application as usual. ContextQA will document all actions and steps taken during the test.
After test execution, go to the Proof section to view all captured evidence.
Each test case will show the steps and evidence collected, including screenshots and details of the interactions.
Click on each step to review the captured data.
Review the captured steps and evidence.
For each step, you can:
Mark as 'Pass' or 'Fail' based on the results.
Add notes or comments if necessary (e.g., “Expected behavior missing”).
Click Update to save your results.
Once all test cases are reviewed, you will have a summary of the pass/fail status for each test case.
The release summary will include all captured evidence and test case results.
Ensure all data is accurate and complete before finalizing the release.
After completing the release, you can revisit the release summary to analyze test results and evidence.
Use this data for reporting, further analysis, or future reference to ensure thorough documentation of the release process.
Your Proof & Release process is now complete with all necessary test cases executed and documented. This ensures a comprehensive validation of your application and helps maintain high-quality standards.
