Test Case Priority in TestLink

Overview

Test Case Priority depends on two factors. The Importance of Test cases and the Urgency defined in the Test Plan.

The test priority is “Test case importance” combined with “Test urgency” within the test plan. TestLink allows setting the urgency of a Test Suite to affect the testing Priority of test cases. High priority test cases are a set of test cases that should be tested at first.

The overall priority of Test Case in TestLink depends on:
