Jira Xray: Can we add one Test (testcase) multiple times to one Test Set?

[Serhii Barylets]

Hi community! I am trying to use Xray for test management and have a question. 

My product under test is a mobile app with sign up flow. The flow contains a dozen of subsequent screens, and actually one screen represents one/several form(s) to be filled with user data and each screen has "Continue" button to proceed next screen.

Test design involves creating few Tests (testcases) for each screen. And my idea was to separate tapping the "Continue" button in a single Test with the only one step, and then call this test as many times as I need in a Test Set.

So, a Test Set could look like this:

1. Test 1 (fill form#1 on screen#1)

2. Test 99 (tap "Continue" button)

3. Test 2 (fill form#2 on screen#2)

4. Test 99 (tap "Continue" button)

5. Test 3 (fill form#3 on screen#3)

6. Test 99 (tap "Continue" button)

......

But the problem is I am not able to add one Test multiple times to one Test Set. Is there a possibility to do that? Because I think when I was reading docs or was watching some videos about Xray, it was said somewhere, that Test Set can include the same Test few times simultaneously.

Hi @Serhii Barylets 

what you describe in general seems to be test steps. A test case should cover a functionality/use case/flow with a dedicated result for a special action. A test set is a tool to organize test cases (eg. reg test, tests regarding a special story) to further ease the execution of them. Please see the link:

As far as I understood you would like to cascade several test cases in a master test case. That‘s not what test sets are meant for. To achieve this you could call one testcase within another one:

Yeah, thank you! I am using Modular test design already, as Xray support team suggested. This is the same idea, to call small Test in a master test case.
