Testcase Style Guidelines Checker

Hi,

we defined style guidelines for Testcase creation, but making sure that these are followed is a pain. Is there a way to set up an automated style check (similar to static testing of a programm code).

    There's not a lot of options within the system to control that.  You could try these:

    • Use custom fields in your test cases, define their value format and if they are required to save a test case
    • only import test cases via csv, and create a validator to highlight issues

      Thanks for the reply. I was afraid that there is no such feature in Zephyr directly. Creating a validator via excel macros for a .csv file is definitely doable, but not exactly elegant nor user-friendly

      But maybe there is a plugin (or something of sorts)?

    I did a quick search and got these recommendations for cleaning CSV files - which is something I have to do often.  Some of them might present you with options to control the format or structure of the data: I'm trialling OpenRefine (which is free).

    Online Tools

    1. CSV Lint – Validates and cleans CSV files, checking for structural errors.
    2. TableConvert – Online CSV cleaner that can remove duplicates, fix formatting, and more.
    3. Opalytics Data Cleaner – Free online data wrangling tool by Trifacta.

    Desktop Software

    1. OpenRefine – Powerful data-cleaning tool for refining CSVs, removing duplicates, and standardizing data.
    2. LibreOffice Calc – Free alternative to Excel that allows manual cleanup.
    3. CSVed – Lightweight CSV editor with cleaning functions.
