Tour #5: Organize Your Testing

Staying organized with dozens of users and thousands of test cases and test results can be a challenge. Not so with TestRail. TestRail does all the heavy lifting for you and enables you to manage multiple projects, milestones and test configurations, all from within the same application.

Projects

Projects are the main organizational unit in TestRail. All other data such as test suites, runs, test results and milestones are directly associated with a specific project. You can manage an unlimited number of projects in TestRail at the same time, giving you the flexibility to organize the tests according to your active projects and planned milestones.

The dashboard with multiple projects

1. Track the activity of multiple projects on TestRail's dashboard
2. Quickly see all your todos of active projects and running tests
3. Directly jump to specific projects or view active test runs

Milestones

You can also add your milestones to TestRail. A milestone can be any project milestone you deem to be important, such as a planned public software release, an internal test version or a new beta release for a specific customer. You can assign test runs to specific milestones, track their progress and conveniently analyze their status.

A milestone and its test runs

1. Easily track the overall testing status of a milestone
2. See the active test runs and their progress on the milestone page
3. Jump to completed and archived test runs

Test Plans

Test plans enable you to start and group multiple related test runs at once and assign user-defined test configurations. Testing even complex projects against multiple test configurations and environments has never been easier. Whether you need to test your projects against multiple operating systems, web browsers or different hardware platforms, TestRail enables you to start your tests with just a few clicks.

A test plan with multiple configurations

1. Create test plans to start multiple related test runs at once
2. Select all test suites that should be included in the test plan
