Tests

Associate a test with a workflow to ensure that the test is run when a review associated with that workflow is started or updated. Associate a test with the global workflow to ensure that the test is run whenever a Swarm review is started or updated. This ensures that the global tests are enforced for all changes even if they are not part of a project.

• Swarm tests can be created by any Swarm user.
• Shared Swarm tests can be viewed by any Swarm user.
• Shared Swarm tests can be added to a workflow by any Swarm user that is authorized to edit the workflow.
• Shared Swarm tests can be added to the global workflow by any Swarm user that is authorized to edit the global workflow.

This section provides an introduction to listing, searching, and viewing tests.
