Testing / PractiTest Interview Questions
What is the difference between a Filter and a Cross Filter in PractiTest?
A standard Filter organizes entities within a single module based on that module's own field values, such as filtering Tests by their component field.
A Cross Filter, by contrast, is built in one module but bases its criteria on a filter that already exists in a different module.
- Example: creating a filter in the Issues module that reuses a Sprint filter already defined in Test Sets & Runs
- Keeps filter criteria consistent across modules instead of redefining the same grouping logic twice
- Updates automatically if the source filter it's based on changes
Cross Filters are especially useful for teams who want a single source of truth for something like which sprint, reused consistently across Requirements, Tests, and Issues.
