Zoho QEngine Integration
Quality checking is a must when it comes to any product that you deliver to the end users. A proper testing cycle is necessary to deliver a bug-free product to the users. Testing process can be made much simpler with the integration of QEngine, a testing software, owned by Zoho. Testers or Quality Analysts can create a test plan for the product or feature without the need to switch to another tool for testing. You can perform both manual and automation testing in Zoho QEngine. While QEngine is suited for both manual and automation testing, automation testers especially value it for how it lets them code and execute their test cases automatically.
Integrate Zoho Sprints and Zoho QEngine to create and manage your manual and automation test cases within Zoho Sprints. Manage your testing cycle from creating test cases to viewing the test results. You can also re-run the tests any number of times as per the need.
Availability: All Plans
Permission: By default, workspace owners will have all permissions. Users who are part of both products (Zoho Sprints and Zoho QEngine) can perform all actions.
Use case of QEngine
QEngine Integration can be enabled when your testing team relies on automation testing. When you have a repetitive testing cycle to be frequently performed, automation testing will be the best suit. You can write your script in the builder to execute your test cases automatically. This eventually helps in reducing manual error and work, increases efficiency and improves speed, better testing process and improved degree of testing.

Create and manage test cases
Test Case are a set of instructions or conditions used to test the functionality of a developed feature or product. For instance, when a developer completes a new feature, it must undergo quality checks before it is released. To ensure the feature works as intended, the Quality Analyst (QA) prepares test cases i.e., detailed scenarios that defines how the feature should behave under various conditions. These test cases form the basis of testing to identify any issues or defects and to validate the feature to meet the specified requirements. Learn more about how to create test cases and work with them from this help document.
Create Test Cases
Test cases can be created from within the Project or Work Item.
- Navigate to a project or work item.
- Go to the Test Cases module.
- Click Add Test Case.
- Enter the test case name. Link name will be auto-filled based on the test name, all special characters and spaces will be replaced with underscores (_).

There are two distinct modes using which you can write test cases: Builder and Editor.
- Editor: Experts who prefers to code directly can use this Editor mode to write the code directly and run it.
- Builder: Beginners or users who prefer low-code can use this Builder mode to write the test cases and run it.
Learn more about Editor and Builder.

Test Suites
A test suite is a collection of related test cases grouped together in a specific folder. For example, if a Quality Analyst wants to test all scenarios related to the "Log out" functionality, they can organize all relevant test cases into a single test suite and name it accordingly. This makes it easier for the QA team to execute the tests focussing on that particular feature. Learn more about how to create and work with test suites.

A test plan outlines how a test suite should be approached. Let the system know what has to be tested and in what order the test should be performed. Create test plan when you need to execute a specific test suite frequently in order to test the sanity of the product periodically. Learn more about how to create and work with test plans.
Specify automation details for test cases as Test Plans. Test plan requires at least one test suite to execute the test cases within it.

Often not all test cases pass the test; some fail, and it must be fixed before the product is released to the public. Therefore, reviewing the test results is essential to ensure any issues are identified and addressed promptly. Learn more.
