Add a New Test Case

A test case is a single, multi-step conversation with your chatbot, which should respond in a way we expect it. Continue reading to learn how to add a test case to a test set.

1. Navigate Using the Left Pane: On the left navigation pane, locate Botium Tools & Settings > Test Sets in the menu.
2. Search for your Existing Test Set: Use the search bar on the right of the page to search for and select the test set you wish to add your new test case to.
   
   
3. Switch Tabs: Select the TEST CASES tab from the ribbon at the top of the page. This will then show the list of all test cases currently added in the panel underneath.
   
   
4. Add New Test Case: Click the + New button to open the test cases dropdown menu. From here, you can select one of several types of test cases to add. For this guide, we will be adding a test case using a Convo file. This is a detailed script that defines conversations between users and your bot. We will use a Convo to replicate a conversation containing a simple text interaction.
   
   
   Restriction: Optional - Steps 6, 7 ,8 , and 9 are for adding voice interactions. This is provided for those of you who are following the 'Getting started with Voice App Testing' guide.
5. Convo Editor: This is the most basic Convo. You will see two steps have been automatically included in the editor as a starting point. The test case name is displayed at the top left of the editor. You can and should update the test case name by clicking on the text.

6. Add a New Step to the Conversation: We will now add our own step by clicking the + USER STEP button.
7. Edit Step: We can see that a new step has been added at the bottom of the conversation but the step is empty. To edit it, click anywhere on the step or the Edit icon to the right of the step.
   
   
8. Choose Interaction Type: Now we can see inside the empty step. Here we must decide what kind of interaction to add. The grid on the right contains many options which we can use to replicate different interactions between the user and the chatbot. For the purpose of this guide we will be adding a voice interaction using the Media/Voice option.
   
   
   Note: See Using Logic Hooks and Botium Asserters for more information on available interaction types.
9. Choose Audio Sample: Use the File/Folder Selection link to open any files stored in the File Browser. Use the checkboxes to select the audio sample you wish to add.
   
   
   
10. Apply Changes: After you have added your file(s), apply your changes by clicking the APPLY CHANGES button.
    
    
11. Save: Now that you have some steps added to your test case you can click the SAVE button to save your new test case to your chosen test set.
