How do I add a test case to TestLink?

Adding a test case to TestLink involves several steps within the TestLink interface. Here's a breakdown of the process:

1. Navigate to Test Plan Management: On the TestLink main page, click on the "Test Plan Management" tab.

2. Select or Create a Test Plan:

   • If you have an existing test plan, select it from the list.
   • If not, you'll need to create one first. To create a test plan:
     • Click "Create".
     • Provide a name and a description for the test plan.
     • Ensure the "Active" checkbox is selected.
     • Click "Create".

3. Access the Test Case Assignment Section: Once your test plan is selected or created, click on the "Add / Remove Test Cases" tab. This section allows you to associate test cases with the chosen test plan.

4. Select Test Cases to Add:

   • Filtering and Searching: Use the available filters and search options (e.g., by keywords, test suite, author) to find the test cases you want to add. The test cases are typically organized in a tree structure representing your test suites.
   • Selection: Locate the desired test case(s) in the tree and mark the checkbox next to each one you want to include in the test plan. You can select individual test cases or entire test suites.

5. Add Selected Test Cases: After selecting the test cases, click the "Add" button (or a similar button, depending on your TestLink version) to move them into the test plan. The selected test cases will now appear within the "Add / Remove Test Cases" tab under the selected Test Plan.

6. Verify the Added Test Cases: Double-check that all the intended test cases have been successfully added to the test plan. You can review the list of associated test cases within the "Add / Remove Test Cases" tab.
