If you have purchased test case execution hours for your engagement, you will be able to set up and distribute test cases to your testers. The Applause platform has a built-in test case management system for entering test cases and logging execution steps, Pass/Fail results and attachments.
The test cases page lists all of your test cases, the product they are attached to and their current statuses.
The Applause platform supports three statuses for test cases: Draft, Published and Archived.
A newly-created test case, not yet available for testing. You may edit, copy, publish, archive or delete a Draft test case.
Note: Draft test cases cannot be created in the Applause platform, but you can see Draft test cases created by the Testing Services team and edit them.
The test case is available for testing. You may edit, copy or archive a Published test case. You can also delete it, however only if it is not assigned to an Active or Locked test cycle.
The test case is no longer available for testing, however previous test results collected for it are still available. You may edit, copy, delete or re-publish an Archived test case.
