Test Management

Collabase Test Management Test Management is the quality operating system built into Collabase. It gives QA engineers and development teams a structured way to define what needs to be tested, execute tests in organised runs, and track results over time — without leaving the platform where all the other work happens.

​
Why use Test Management

Most teams test their software informally. Cases live in spreadsheets, run results in chat threads, and the link between “what was tested” and “what was shipped” is a question nobody can answer confidently. Test Management closes that gap.
Test cases have status, priority, type, and ownership. Results are recorded per run, not overwritten. Every execution produces a complete, auditable record.
Every run is a snapshot. You can look back at what passed and failed in a release from three months ago without any manual archiving.
Runs link to milestones. Failures can trigger Automations. Test cases link to the Docs pages that describe the features under test. Members are the same people already in the Space — no separate accounts or roles to manage.

​
Key concepts

Test Management is organised in a clear hierarchy. 
Test Project
└── Test Suite
    └── Test Case
        └── Test Run
            └── Milestone
A Test Project is the top-level container for all testing work in a domain. Create one per product area or application. It holds all suites, cases, and runs.
A Test Suite is a named group of related test cases. Use suites to organise cases by feature, component, or risk area. Suites can be nested to reflect your product’s structure.
A Test Case describes a single thing to verify. Each case has a status (DRAFT, READY, DEPRECATED), a priority, and a type. Only cases in READY status are included in a test run.
A Test Run is an execution session. When you start a run, Collabase automatically enrolls all READY cases and sets each result to PENDING. Testers work through each case and record their result.
A Milestone groups test runs to a release, sprint, or any other delivery event. Milestones give you a per-release quality snapshot: how many cases passed, how many failed, and what the pass rate was.
