  1. Go to Application Menu > Data Catalog > Mapping Manager > Workspace Mappings.
  2. Click the required map and click the Test Specification tab.

    3. The following page appears. You can see a test case which was created at project level. Test cases created at project level are applicable to all the maps under the project.

Once a test case is created, you can enrich it by:

Managing test cases involves:

  • Updating test case status
  • Approving test cases
  • Exporting test cases
  • Deleting test cases
