How Orangescrum Can Be Used as a Test Case Management Software?

In Orangescrum you can customize the ‘Task Type’ as a ‘Test Case’ which enables you to create tasks as test cases. You can also manage test scenarios using the ‘Task Group’ feature.

‘Task Group’ can be employed as a ‘Test Scenario’ and it can have multiple ‘Test Cases’. Similarly, you can create multiple such test scenarios each having multiple test cases.

Orangescrum has a task linking feature where you can link a test case to another test case; this brings clarity in executing the test cases efficiently.

Moreover, you can execute these test cases in a customized bug tracking workflow. Let’s look at how you can create a custom workflow for test case execution.

How to Create a Custom Status Workflow for Test case Management

1. Click on ‘Status Workflow’ ? ‘Create New Status Workflow’

2. Provide a ‘Status Workflow Name’ and a ‘Description’ ? Click ‘Add’

3. Then click on Create New Status ? Provide Status Name ? Set Status Type ? Progress (%) ? Update

Here is a customized bug tracking workflow created in Orangescrum:

For Test case management we can create the status workflow as “To be executed”, “Execution in progress”, “Pass” & “Fail”

 Now, Let’s Create a Test Scenario and its Test Cases on Orangescrum

1. Click on Create Task Group to use as a test scenario

2. Enter the details of the ‘Task Scenario’ ? Click Save

Note: While creating a test scenario you can add a description with an objective for the test scenario as well.

Now, Let’s Create the Test Cases for the Test Scenario created

1. Click ‘+’ on the bottom right corner to create task
2. Then Select ‘Project’ ? Enter ‘Task Title’ ? Select ‘Task Type’ as ‘Test Case’
3. For a test case “Precondition”, “Test steps” & “Expected Results” are essential which we will add in the description
4. Click on the task group to select the test scenarios we have created. This will save this test case under the selected test scenario
5. You can also upload any supportive document needed or the test case execution
6. Then click ‘Save’

Note: The task type ‘Test Case’ is custom created to ensure that you can manage the test cases in a workflow customized to your needs.

View Test Case and Add additional Details in Test Case

When you find a bug you can link it to the test case by clicking on the Bugs tab. In the below form you can provide bug details such as Bug Title, Issue Type, Bug Severity, Bug Category, Bug Owner and the Due Date etc.

Next, you can also add files to the bugs form. Write your message and then click on the Drop files then click on Post Comment.

You can use the checklist feature to list out all the precondition requirements or test steps to execute the test case.

Here is the example of the checklist needed to effectively execute the test case – Verify that the core functionalities of the web app work seamlessly on various browsers.
