Create Folders and Features

The Folders panel is used for organizing test cases. It displays a list of top-level folders, each representing a logical grouping of related test cases. The plus (+) icon next to a folder indicates it can be expanded to view or add sub folders, supporting a hierarchial organization of test cases.
At the top of the panel, the Create top level Folder option is available. This option is used to add a new main folder, enabling users to define a new category for organizing test cases within the project.

The Feature panel represents a top-level functionality or module of a project that groups related test cases, helping to organize and manage testing for specific areas of the application. The plus (+) icon next to a feature allows users to expand it to view or add sub features.
The Create top level Feature button lets users add a new main feature to organize test cases under a new functionality.
