Search

The Search feature enables users to quickly locate specific test cases within a large repository. It provides a search input field at the top of the test case list, where users can enter keywords such as test case ID or title. As a result, only matching test cases are displayed, reducing the need for manual folder navigation.

Why it matters / Use Cases:​

  • Quick Test Case Access: It allows users to quickly find specific test cases by ID, title, folder, feature, or priority, reducing time spent navigating large test case lists.
  • Efficient Test Case Management: It supports organized handling of extensive test cases by displaying only relevant results.
  • Organization of Folder and Feature: It helps to manage the organization of folders and features.

Prerequisites​

  • Access to ZeuZ Server with permissions for Testing → Test Case → Search.
  • At least one test case must exist for the search feature to work.

Quick-Start​

  1. Click on the Search Test Cases bar available at the top to find specific test cases.
  2. Enter search keywords such as ID, Title, Folder, Feature, Priority, etc., in the search field.

FAQs / Troubleshooting​

How can I search for a specific test case?

Enter keywords such as test case ID, title, folder name, feature, or priority in the search field at the top of the test case list. Matching results will be displayed instantly.

What should I do if no results appear?

Check that the keywords are correct, the test case exists, and that at least one test case is present in the list.

Can I search using multiple criteria?

Yes, you can search using multiple criteria. The search feature allows combining keywords such as test case ID, title, folder, feature, or priority.

Can I search for test cases across all projects?

No, the search feature only works within the selected project or test case repository. Switch projects if you need to search elsewhere.

The search is slow or unresponsive. What should I do?

Ensure that your project contains an indexed list of test cases, and use more specific keywords or apply filters to speed up the search.
