When it comes to finding the desired test cases from all our test cases, we often face complex conditions and in many cases it is difficult to get the desired results without putting up lot of manual efforts.
TestCollab now brings to you the power of data analysis. With the new advanced filters, you can be assured of accurate and granular search results. We have made composing the complex queries over data simple and straight forward.
All native fields including description, steps, expected results and all types of custom fields are supported for advanced filters. A single filter criterion is divided in 3 parts
Field
Operator (==, !=, Between etc)
Value(s)
There can be:
A single (simple) filter criterion
More than one individual filter criterion
A group having multiple filter criteria
A combination of individual and grouped filter criteria
Some examples
Individual filter criteria
To look for test cases having the text "login" in their title
Field | Operation | Value |
Title | Like | login |
To look for test cases tagged as "functional"
Field | Operation | Value |
Tags | Equals | functional |
To look for test cases that are not tagged
Field | Operation |
Tags | Is empty |
To look for test cases having "Yes" set as value for custom field "Automation candidate"
Field | Operation | Value |
Automation candidate | == | Yes |
Applying more than one filter criterion
When there are more than one filter criterion, you can use the logical operators to specify the relation between criteria used
AND
OR
To look for test cases under suite "Authentication" and the ones that have been tagged as "reviewed"
Field | Operation | Value |
Suite | == | Authentication |
| AND |
|
Tags | Equals | automated |
Grouping filters
The filter criteria can be grouped for better analysis
Group 1 |
|
|
Suite | == | Authentication |
| AND |
|
Tags | Equals | automated |
|
|
|
| OR |
|
|
|
|
Group 2 |
|
|
Suite | == | Signup |

|
Priority | == | High |

Saving filters
Filters once defined or applied can be saved for later use by the user for his use only, or it saved for use of everyone in the project team.
Once a filter is saved it can be accessed by the users depending on saved filters accessibility criteria.
Removing applied filter
If not required one or more individual filter criterion or even a group of criteria can be removed from filter pane.
If not required all the applied filters can also be cleared to get all the rows listed on grid.
Note:
Advanced filters for test cases are also available on test plan's test cases panel
Advanced filters are available for companies on a paid plan!
