5Create test accounts (optional)Store credentials and resources used during testing. Can be added anytime. See Test accounts.
5aRecord execution context (optional)Project snapshots for browser, OS, URL, and build — for reproducibility. See Execution context.
6Create test suite structureNested suites organize cases in a tree. See Test cases and suites.
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).
9Create a test runA run is an execution container for one project. See Test runs.
10Select tests for the runOn create, pass specific case IDs or use ALL to include every case in the project. You can add more cases later with Add test cases.
11Use the tasks view (optional)See work assigned to you: open runs, pending results, and in-progress cases.
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.
