Test Cases
Test Repository
The Test Repository is the board view for the 4QA - Test Cases board. It displays all your test cases with a collapsible sidebar that organizes groups as folders. Use the full-text search bar to find test cases by name, or apply filters for Status, Type, Priority, and Tags to narrow the list.
Creating a Test Case
- Click Create at the top of the test repository.
- Fill in the test case name.
- Set the Status, Priority, and Type using the column dropdowns.
- Add a Description and Preconditions in the item view.
Adding Steps
Each test case uses subitems as individual test steps. Every step has the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Step Action | The name/action to perform (item name). |
| Expected Result | What should happen when the action is performed correctly. |
| Test Data | Any input data required for this step. |
| Position | Numeric order of the step within the test case. |
Click Add Step inside the test case item view to append a new step. Steps can be reordered by updating their Position value.
Editing
All fields support inline editing directly in the board or item view. Use keyboard navigation for efficient editing:
- Tab — move to the next cell
- Shift+Tab — move to the previous cell
- Enter — confirm the edit
- Escape — discard changes
The test case version is auto-incremented each time you save changes.
Linking Requirements
Each test case has a Linked Requirements board relation column that connects to items on the 4QA - Requirements board. You can also link to external source boards if your requirements live elsewhere in monday.com. Linked requirements are used by the coverage widget to calculate requirement coverage.
