-To add a new test case first you have to select a module(eg :Inventory Management System) +{{dev:menue.png|}}
-Then you have to expand that category and you can see available functional areas where tast cases have been prepared+

-===== Using the Filter feature =====+You can jump to the results page by clicking "Results" button at the top menu bar.

-there are several filters to filter results by Owner,Keywords,Results and the Build+  * By clicking "Total Bugs For Each Test Case" we can derive a report having available bugs for each test case.
  
 +More interestingly this provides the feature to export a test report as a spreadsheet document.
 +We can also send the test report by mail using "send test report" option.
