TESTaide allows users to generate and manage test cases through a couple of different ways, including standard creation and importing from Excel sheets. This document provides guidelines on test case management via the test case page on the TESTaide application.
TESTaide also allows to create test cases and directly add them to a test plan through the detailed plan page. For more details on this, please refer to this guide.
To be able to manage test plans, you will need to have the correct permissions, such as Project Manager or Create Plan/TC … . For more information, please refer to Global Permissions.
