Testgroups

A testgroup is an ordered list of test items (cases and MSGTXTs). Testgroups encourage modular testcases. For example, a complicated logon testcase can be developed and included in other testgroups. As a result, if the logon process changes, only the logon testcase needs to be changed, even if it is used in a number of different testgroups.

From the WSim Test Manager main menu, select option 2 or enter the command GROUP. This displays a list of the current testgroups:
