7Create test cases (optional)Document steps, preconditions, and expected results.
8Create test casesAdd the cases you plan to execute (same as step 7 when you are ready to run).

12Perform testingSet each test run result to Passed, Failed, Skipped, Blocked, or Retest. See Test run results.
12aFile a bug (optional)On a defect, create a record in the bug tracker: status, priority, reproduction steps.
13Automated execution report (optional)Not available yet in the product. Execution is manual through run results.

Roles in the workflow

RoleTypical responsibilities
AdministratorTeam setup, invites, member roles
MemberProjects, cases, runs, bugs, execution context, execution
Read-onlyBrowse team data without changing it. See Read-only member role.
AssigneeAny user set on a case, run, or result sees items in Tasks

Tables and context menu

Most entity listings and details use data tables. Right-click a row or cell to open the context menu: go to element, clone, delete (where your role allows), and other actions depending on the screen.

ActionHow
Copy valueRight-click a data cellCopy value. The clipboard gets the same text shown in the cell (status label, user name, formatted value). Internal IDs and service columns (checkbox, go-to arrow, sort controls) are not copied.
Bulk actionsSelect several rows, then right-click - clone or delete multiple items where enabled.

On pages with tabs (for example Projects or entity details), switching tabs is saved in browser history - use Back / Forward to move between tabs on the same page.
