Perform advanced test management

With test management, you can carry out actions like open, rename, delete, copy, and move tests.

In the Manage tests view, the left pane displays a tree view of folders and corresponding tests. The available default folders are Public Tests and My Tests. A Group Tests folder option is visible only if you are logged in as a user who belongs to a group.

The right pane displays more details about the selected item, which, for folders, includes a table that lists the tests contained in that folder. The table shows test-related information like name, creation date and time, modification date and time, owner, modified by, and parameters. You can sort tests by clicking the column headers.

Above the table, a toolbar provides access to actions like open, copy, move, and delete.

You can refresh this view by clicking the Refresh button at the bottom left.
