Users can create new test cases, whether they are manual or automated, with detailed steps and expected outcomes. The module facilitates easy customization with both List View and Grid View options and has actions such as Run, Edit, and Delete. Users can select, execute, and analyse the test case's execution history, gaining insights into the total number of runs, passed and failed outcomes. The fundamental aspect is the comparison between Actual and Expected data, ensuring a thorough evaluation for both API and BI scenarios.
