Versioning
In a nutshell
Versioning gives you a complete history of changes made to test cases and functions from the moment they are created. Each saved modification is stored as a new version, allowing you to compare any two versions side by side. You can revert to any preferred version at any point, making it safe to modify test cases without the risk of losing working states.

Overview
Test case versioning allows users to track and manage changes made to test cases or functions over time. When a test case or function is created for the first time, it is automatically stored as the initial iteration within the versions history. With versioning, you can maintain a history of test case modifications, compare different versions, and easily revert to previous versions if needed. For example, when a testing team identifies a defect in a test case for a critical feature, they can modify the steps to address the issue. This new version will have the modifications that helps them track the changes and provides an accurate history of the test case. If the fix introduces new issues, the team can easily compare the current version with the previous one and quickly revert to the working version, if necessary.
Creating Test Case Versions
Every time a test case is saved, it is assigned a version number. Subsequently, any changes made to these test cases or functions will be automatically saved as new versions, creating a comprehensive version history.
View Versions
To navigate to versions:
- On the test case editor page, click Version to access the list of versions for the test case or function. All of the recorded versions will be listed on the left.
- Select the required version of the test case to view its contents.
Restore an older version as Current Version
The Versions page will always display the contents of the latest version.
To set an older version as the latest version:
- Select the version you want to restore.
- Click Replace. This will replace the script of the current version with the selected older version.
- Make any needed changes, then click Save. The older version will become the latest version.
You can initiate a preview run for test cases or function after restoring it to the latest version.
Version Statuses
Every version will have one of the following statuses:
- Draft - Test cases that are still undergoing edits will have Draft status.
- Ready - Test cases that are marked as ready will have Ready status
Test cases or functions in draft can be executed for live test preview. To be executed in a test plan, they will have to be marked ready from the editor/builder mode.
Comparing Test Case Versions
To compare between older versions and the latest versions:
- Select the version from the list inside Version. Only two versions can be compared at a time.
- Click Show Diff to highlight the differences between the selected version and the latest version.
Note: Colors used to indicate changes:
- Changes highlighted in green are addition.
- Changes highlighted in red are deletion.
- Content with no colour highlights are unchanged.
- The changes are displayed in the Inline View by default. You can opt for the Side by side view, making it easy to identify additions, deletions, or modifications.
- To go back to viewing the selected version, click Hide Diff.
Test case versioning offers valuable insights into changes made between different test case versions, facilitating analysis of modifications, additions, and deletions. Testers can easily identify specific changes, understand their reasons, and validate if the test case aligns with the latest requirements. Comparing versions aids in defect identification and fosters collaboration among team members for improvements.
