4.9.1. Accessing test cases

Test cases can be accessed from many places in the application.

The main place is for sure the section dedicated to the test cases and their management. It can be found under the "Manage & Build" main section.

From there, you will see all the TestCases defined in your environments. You will be able to search them, edit or delete them, create new ones, ...

When working in a channel or a transformation, you will have a direct access to a similar grid, but that shows ONLY the test cases related to the channel or transformation on which your are currently working.

Also, you will have shortcuts to access test cases at many places where it is very convenient.

For example, the edition of a transformation is probably the place where you will the most need a direct access to the test cases, as you are refining your formulas until you get the expected output. So, it is really useful to have a direct access to the test case to see immediately the result of your changes, without having to leave the transformation screen. 

When deploying your changes, the interface will automatically suggest you to rerun all the related test cases, to be sure that you will only deploy if your changes behave exactly as expected. The deployment will be automatically aborted if one of the test cases detects a problem.

When seeing message details, you will be able to create a test case based on this message input in just one click. This is very convenient when you discover a new corner case because some production message felt in error, or produced a wrong output : start by creating a new test case in just one click, then go into your channel and fix the problem, until the test case confirms that everything is now ok.
