Overview
Test Cases are essential components in Thunders that allow you to create and manage test instructions for your projects. This guide will walk you through the basic operations of creating, modifying, and removing test cases.
Creating a Test Case
Navigate to your project
Click the "New Test Case" button
A modal appears with three options: Thunders AI, Recorder, and Empty Test Case
Option 1: Thunders AI
Click Start with Thunders AI — you will be redirected to the Thunders AI Tab
💡 You can also reach this same flow by going directly to the Thunders AI from the main navigation — both paths lead to the same experience.
Option 2: Recorder
Click Recorder — a new test case is created and the recorder setup opens
Select your parameters (Environment, App, etc.) before starting the recording
Option 3: Empty Test Case
Click Empty Test Case — a new test case named "New Test Case" is created immediately and you are redirected to the test case editor with no steps
💡 After creating an empty test case, rename it right away — see the Updating the Test Case Name section below.
Updating the Test Case Name
There are two ways to update a test case name.
From the test case list
Locate the test case you want to rename
Click the action menu (three dots icon)
Click Edit
Update the name and click Save
Inside the test case
Open the test case
Click directly on the title and edit it
The name is saved automatically once you leave the title field — no Save button needed
💡 Best Practice: Use clear, descriptive names for your Test Cases to make them easily identifiable.
Duplicating a Test Case
To duplicate an existing Test Case:
Find the Test Case you wish to duplicate
Click on the "Duplicate" button in the actions menu
The duplicated Test Case will appear in your list with "(Copy)" appended to the original name
💡 Duplicating Test Cases is useful when you need to create variations of existing tests without starting from scratch. You can then modify the duplicated Test Case as needed.
→ Note that when you duplicate a test case that is attached to a test set, the copy will also be automatically attached to the same test set.
Deleting a Test Case
To remove a Test Case:
Find the Test Case you wish to delete
Click "Delete" in the actions menu
Confirm the deletion when prompted
⚠️ Warning: Test Case deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Make sure you want to remove it before confirming.
Tips for Effective Test Case Management
Rename your test case immediately after creation — the default name is "New Test Case"
Keep Test Case names concise but descriptive
Include relevant details in the description to help team members understand the test's purpose
Regularly review and update test cases to maintain their relevance
Document any dependencies or prerequisites in the test case description
