Tags

Tags are colored labels you attach to test cases to categorize, filter, and organize your test suite at a glance. A tag could represent a feature area (checkout), a test priority (smoke), a team (mobile-squad), or a release milestone (v2.1).

Tags are workspace-scoped — they are shared across all suites and test cases in a workspace, so teams can standardize their taxonomy without duplicating effort.

Creating a Tag

  1. Navigate to any test case in the Test Explorer.
  2. Click the Tags section in the test case detail panel (or click the tag icon in the suite sidebar context menu).
  3. Click + New Tag or the Edit Tags button.
  4. In the Tag Editor:
    • Name — enter a short, descriptive label (e.g., regression, smoke, P0).
    • Description — optional note explaining what this tag represents.
    • Color — pick from swatches or enter a custom hex color. The color is used as the pill background in the UI.
  5. Click Save.

Applying Tags to a Test Case

  1. Open the test case you want to label.
  2. In the Tags field, click the input and type to search existing tags, or select from the dropdown list.
  3. Select one or more tags — multiple tags can be applied to a single test case.
  4. Changes are saved automatically.

Filtering by Tag

You can filter the test case list to show only tests that carry a specific tag:

  1. In the Test Explorer, open the Filters panel.
  2. Select one or more tags from the Tags filter.
  3. The list updates in real-time to show only matching test cases.

This is particularly useful when you need to run a specific subset of tests — for example, filtering for smoke tests before a release, or P0 critical-path tests during an incident.

Managing Tags

Editing a Tag

  1. Open the Tag Manager (accessible from the workspace settings or the tag editor).
  2. Find the tag and click the edit icon.
  3. Update the name, description, or color and save.

All test cases that carry this tag will immediately reflect the updated label and color.

Deleting a Tag

  1. Open the Tag Manager.
  2. Click the delete icon on the tag you want to remove.
  3. Confirm the deletion.

The tag is removed from all test cases it was applied to. This action is permanent and cannot be undone.

Tips for Organizing with Tags

Use a consistent taxonomy across your team to get the most out of tags:

  • Priority tags: P0, P1, P2 — lets you quickly filter critical-path tests before a deployment.
  • Type tags: smoke, regression, exploratory — for quick pre-release smoke runs.
  • Feature tags: auth, checkout, payments, onboarding — filter tests by product area.
  • Team tags: frontend, backend, mobile-squad — useful in larger orgs with multiple QA teams.
  • Release tags: v2.1, sprint-42 — temporarily label tests related to a specific release cycle.

Tags can be combined freely. A test might carry smoke, checkout, and P0 at the same time, making it eligible for any of those filtered views.
