Tags

A tag is a label you put on a test script. Tags cut across modules and suites, so you can gather every script that matters to you — every login test, every smoke test — no matter where it is filed.

The # Tags mind map draws those groups as a picture.

Tagging a script

Tags live on the script itself, so add them before you go looking for them.

1. Go to Test Repository and open the module that holds the script.

2. Click the ⋮ menu on the script's row and choose Edit script.

3. Type a tag in the Tags box and press Enter. Repeat for as many tags as you need.

4. Click Update Script.

You can also set tags when you first create a script — New Script opens a panel with the same Tags box.

Viewing the tag map

On the project home page, under Analyze → Mind maps, click # Tags.

The # Tags button on the project home page

Each tag becomes a node, with the scripts carrying that tag hanging beneath it. A script tagged twice appears under both tags.

Scripts grouped by tag

If you see No Tags Available, no script in the project has a tag yet. Add one and come back.

Narrowing the map

The panel on the right lists every tag in the project.

Control	What it does
Search Tags	Filters the list as you type
Tag checkboxes	Show or hide that tag's branch
Select all	Shows every tag at once

Use the zoom out and zoom in buttons at the top right when a project has more tags than fit on screen.

What tags are good for

Tags are not only for the map. When you build a test suite you can tick Auto add test scripts from tags, and every script carrying the tags you name is pulled in — including scripts added later. That keeps a smoke suite current without anyone maintaining a list by hand.
