Testing / PractiTest Interview Questions
What is the difference between the Test Library module and the Test Sets & Runs module?
| Test Library | Test Sets & Runs |
| Where test cases are authored and maintained | Where tests are grouped and actually executed |
| Holds the reusable definition of each test | Holds Test Instances, the specific occurrences of tests within a group |
| Editing a test case here updates it everywhere it's used | Recording a result here only affects that specific Test Instance's run history |
| Not tied to any particular execution cycle | Directly tied to a specific testing cycle, like a sprint or release |
Thinking of it as authoring versus execution is a useful mental model: the Test Library is your library of reusable scripts, while Test Sets & Runs is where you actually perform and record a specific reading of those scripts.
