Introduction of Worksoft SaaS Feature/Concept :: Lesson 3 :: Topic 1
1. Granularity of Tests
When we have multiple Test Cases to test, most often, these Test Cases have some steps that are common and hence are repeated in other Test Cases as well.
Let's take an e-commerce site for example, where we have separate Test Cases for 'Search for a Product and add to Cart', 'Go to My Orders and check the status'. In both these situations, the Test Cases will include the step - Login to the Application, Searching for the Product, etc.
To give you the benefit of reusing such steps, we support Granularity of Tests in Worksoft SaaS. This is achieved with the help of the automation entity hierarchy, where the lowest level of automation entity starts at a Test Step level instead of a Test Case level and builds on to higher levels that groups the test steps together, to shape a complete Test Case or multiple Test Cases.
This structure not only benefits the reuse of Test Steps (which is the lowest level) but also the automation entities of all levels depending on how granularly they are created.

2. Test Scripts
In Worksoft SaaS, a 'Test Script' is the lowest level of an automation entity in the entity hierarchy.
The Test Scripts are created and maintained at a Project-level and are available for all the users having access to the project, within your Worksoft SaaS domain. This means all of you can collaborate and maintain these test scripts.
3. Script Library and My Favorites
The Script Library feature lists all the automated Test Scripts that are available within the project.
This is a commonplace for Test Scripts that are created/modified by you and your colleagues accessing the project.
Since the Script Library may contain huge list of Test Scripts, the 'My Favorites' feature is also useful for you as it can give you a personal space to maintain a subset of Test Scripts you are currently working on (creating/debugging/enhancing/maintaining) or are interested in.
Although 'My favorites' allows marking as many as 100 Test Scripts as your favorites, we recommend that the smaller the list of favorites, the better it is for you to quickly find and use them.
