Test case Smartsheets

We're going into UAT soon. I've chosen Smartsheets to put all the test cases the testers need to run. Some things I'm wondering about - hopefully all of you ppl smarter then me can help:

1. I imagine that I will need multiple sheets right? Each tester will run the same end-to-end set of tests and record pass/fail/defects. How could they all do it on the same sheet, right?

2. I also see that I can use Report to have all relevant (Fails, Defects, Status) roll up to that Report from all sheets.

Am I thinking about this right? THANKS. Time-sensitive!

Hi,

1. Both options are possible, and the best would depend on your structure and specifics.

Will the testers do each test in one run or would they need to be able to start a test, pause and come back later again to continue?
Will they do the tests on a computer, tablet, or smartphone?
How many different testers will there be?

2. Reports and maybe in combination with a dashboard would work excellent, I think.

My recommendation from my assumptions would be to either use one sheet for everything or one sheet per tester, and if possible, I would use forms to fill in each test.

What do you think? Would that work?

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Did this work? I am looking to do the same thing. Would like to have testers fill in forms to complete the script, then have all the data populate into one sheet that I can run reports from. Would each step in the script be a Seperate form?

Hi @Sandra Healey

I'd recommend starting with a form and then continue with Update Requests as needed.

Make sense?

Would that work?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Will and API token for a report give access to the Sheet the Report generated from?
Hi, I have a large Smartsheet, I want to generate a row report that reduces information displayed down to a specific group. For that Row Report, if I were to generate an API token and share it to a third party, will that third part have access to the information on the original 'Grid' sheet, or will it be reduced to what…
Were there recent changes to the totalPages parameter when querying the /sheets endpoint?
Up until last week, the totalPages and totalCount parameters functioned as expected when performing a simple GET call to /sheets. If there were 150 sheets, then it would show "totalPages": 2, "totalCount": 150. As of Friday of last week, it seems like it is showing "totalPages": 1, "totalCount": 100 any time there are more…
