Imported Files

View and manage test cases generated from imported files, review AI analysis results, and track import history.

Quick answer

View and manage test cases generated from imported files, review AI analysis results, and track import history. Use this page to understand when the capability applies, complete its user-facing workflow, and verify the expected result.

What this page covers

Who is this for? QA engineers and test managers who import test cases or requirements from files and need to review, verify, and manage the generated results.

Overview

The Imported Files page displays all files you have uploaded through the Import File creation method. Each imported file shows its processing status, the number of generated test cases, and access to AI analysis and review. Generation continues in the background, and an inline marker identifies candidates that match a test already in the repository.

Navigating to imported files

1. Select Assets → Requirements from the left sidebar

The imported files list loads with your most recent imports.

Imported files list

The list displays all imported files in a searchable, paginated table.

Table columns:

Column	Description
Id	Unique file identifier
Name	File name (click to open file details)
Type	Import type (e.g., test case import, requirement import)
Status	Processing status badge
Estimated Time	Estimated processing duration
Test Cases	Number of test cases generated (shown when processing completes)
Created by	Name of the user who uploaded the file
Created Date	Upload date and time

Status indicators:

Status	Description
Completed	File processed successfully and test cases are available
Pending Action	AI needs additional information to process the file — click to provide clarification
Processing / In Progress	File is currently being analyzed and test cases are being generated
Failed / Error	Processing encountered an error

Use the search bar to filter files by name. The table supports server-side pagination and auto-refresh.

File details

Click a file name to open the file details view. The details view shows:

File information

A metadata bar at the top displays:

• Created — Upload date
• File URL — Link to the original uploaded file
• Created By — Name of the uploader
• Test Plan — Link to the associated test plan (if created during import)
• Test Suite — Link to the associated test suite (if created during import)

Test case type breakdown

For requirement imports, a breakdown shows the count of generated test cases by type:

Type	Description
Positive	Tests that verify expected behavior with valid inputs
Negative	Tests that verify error handling with invalid inputs
Edge	Tests that verify boundary conditions and edge cases

Generated test cases

The Test Cases tab displays generated candidates in a searchable table. New candidates use an under-review UR-<id> until accepted. When a candidate matches a case already in the repository, an existing test case icon appears beside the linked TC-<id>, a legend explains the marker, and the match reason replaces the normal description. Open the linked ID before adding coverage so you can compare the existing test with the requirement.

While processing is still in progress, the page shows completion progress and confirms that generation continues in the background. You can navigate away and return later without interrupting it. If processing fails, the error message appears in the empty state.

AI clarification questionnaire

When you import a requirements file, the AI may need additional context to generate accurate test cases. If the file status is Pending Action, clicking it opens the AI clarification questionnaire.

The questionnaire includes:

• A summary message explaining what the AI found in your file
• One or more clarification questions with context about why each answer helps
• A text field for each answer

Actions:

Button	Description
Submit	Send your answers and start test case generation
Skip & Generate Test Cases	Skip the questions and generate test cases with the information available

After submission, the file status changes to Processing. Review the generated test cases once processing completes.

Importing files

Files are imported through the Import File method in the test case creation dialog. For step-by-step instructions, see Creating Test Cases — Import File.

Supported file types:

Mode	File types
Import Test Cases	.xlsx, .xls
Import Requirement (Web / Mobile)	.xlsx, .xls, .docx, .csv, .txt, .pdf, image (.png, .jpg, .jpeg, .webp, .gif), video (.mp4, .mov, .webm, .mpeg, .mkv)
Import Requirement (API)	.json

Attach UI mockups, screenshots, wireframes, or screen-flow documents along with your requirements. Visual context helps ContextQA's AI generate more relevant and complete test cases.

Frequently asked questions

What happens when a file has Pending Action status?

The AI analyzed your file and needs clarification to generate accurate test cases. Click the file to open the questionnaire, answer the questions, and submit. You can also skip the questions and let the AI generate test cases with the available information.

Can I re-import the same file?

Yes. Each import creates a new entry in the imported files list. Candidates that match existing coverage are marked with the existing-case icon and linked to the repository test case.

Where do generated test cases appear?

Generated test cases appear in the Test Cases list. If you created a test suite or test plan during import, the test cases are automatically organized into those containers. Click the file name in the details view to navigate to the filtered test cases list.
