Define Your Test Cases and Test Suites

Document test preconditions, list steps, expected results, effort estimates, and test priorities.

Execute Tests and Capture Results

Document test preconditions, list steps, expected results, effort estimates, and test priorities.

Capture all the details with testing plan templates

Templates help you standardize your test plans and test cases and ensure that they remain consistent. Your first test plan template might be a Google Doc or an Excel spreadsheet, similar to this one that you can download from our sister company, Ranorex. But as projects become more complex, using spreadsheets as test plan templates can become unwieldy. A more sophisticated approach is needed.

TestRail’s test case templates and test plan features have been carefully designed with input from experienced QA managers to be easy-to-use and highly productive.

You can use TestRail’s built-in templates to plan manual testing, exploratory testing sessions, and even automated testing.

TestRail’s built-in Copy & Move feature makes it very easy to create new test cases based on existing ones. You can set up test cases as templates and copy them into new test suites with only a few clicks. This works for individual test cases, entire test suites, or selected test suite sections.
