Custom fields

A custom field adds information Testsigma does not hold by default, and it becomes a filter on the test case library. A team tracking which sprint a test case belongs to, or which module it covers, defines that as a custom field rather than encoding it in the name.

Create a custom field

1. Go to Settings > Admin Settings > Custom Fields.

2. Click Add new field. The Add new field overlay opens under Test Case.

3. Enter a Field Name and a Description.

4. Choose the Field Type from the dropdown.

5. Configure the type’s options and click Add.

The description is what a test case author reads when filling the field in, so it is worth writing.

Fill it in on a test case

1. Go to Create Tests > Test Cases and open the test case.

2. Click Manage Test Case in the utility panel and scroll to Custom Fields.

3. Enter the values and click Close.

Filter by it

1. Go to Create Tests > Test Cases and click List View.

2. Click Show Filters.

3. Expand Add Filter and select the custom field.

Custom fields sit alongside the built-in filters, so a filter can combine a custom field with status, priority, and labels. Saving that combination as a filter makes it reusable, and a public saved filter shares it with the team. See Test cases.

Note

The Add new field overlay is scoped to Test Case, so a custom field applies to test cases.
