Toaster / Use cases

Testing checklists with a history you can trust

Keep the checklist definition separate from execution results. Start a new run for a new website version and revisit earlier runs when you need context.

Create a workspace

For QA engineers and teams building a repeatable manual testing workflow.

How to organize the workflow

Recording every run in the same spreadsheet can overwrite earlier outcomes. Toaster separates checklist definitions from execution results: editing a check does not rewrite an already recorded result.

  1. Group checks by feature

    Create sections for authentication, catalog browsing and checkout. Give each check a name, description and priority.

  2. Start a dedicated run

    Test the relevant product version and record execution outcomes. A new run does not replace the previous one.

  3. Turn failures into issues

    Create a linked issue when a check reveals a problem. Fixing and discussing it happen separately from the original result.

  4. Revisit the evidence

    Open the checklist run history and the report for a particular run. Retrieve the context without reconstructing it from chat messages.

Illustrative workflow, not customer data

Authentication
Valid credentials sign the user in; an invalid password produces a clear error.
Catalog
A selected filter changes the product list; a product detail page opens.
Cart
Changing quantity recalculates the order total.
Checkout
Required fields are validated; a valid order receives confirmation.

Before you start

Is this a universal ready-made checklist?

No. The example is a starting point. Adapt the checks to your product requirements and risks.

Should we use a checklist or a test case?

A checklist suits short checks of familiar workflows. Use test cases when you need detailed steps and expected results. Toaster supports both.

Does fixing an issue change the original result?

No. Issue resolution does not rewrite the recorded outcome of the source check.
