Credentials

Credentials let test cases use project-level accounts without repeating secrets in every test. Use them for logged-in flows, role-specific checks, and products where the first meaningful page is behind authentication.

Fields

• Name: A human-readable label such as Admin user or Billing owner.
• Username: The login identifier, usually an email address.
• Password: The password for the test account.
• One-time password secret: An optional Base32 secret or TOTP setup URI for accounts that require an authenticator code.
• Context for AI: Additional guidance such as which login method to use, which workspace to select, or which social login buttons to avoid.

Context for AI

Keep instructions explicit and safe:

Use email login by default. After login, select the Staging workspace.

Do not include unrelated test steps here. Put workflow-specific actions in the test case.

Maintenance

Rotate credentials when access changes. Remove credentials that are no longer used. If a credential is edited or deleted, review related test cases and test plans before the next release run.
