Credentials Management

What are Test Credentials?

Test Credentials in Verex allow you to securely store and use login details, API keys, or other authentication parameters required to execute automated tests. These credentials help ensure tests run in the correct environment with the appropriate access.

Creating Test Credentials

To create new credentials:

1. Navigate to Test Management > Credentials.
2. Click Add New Credential.
3. Enter a Name for the credential (e.g., "Demo Environment Credentials").
4. Add login details or other required fields (e.g., username, password, API keys).
5. Click Create Credential.

Assigning Credentials

Test Credentials can be assigned at different levels:

1. Suite-Level Credentials

• Assigned to an entire Test Suite, meaning all tests within the suite will use these credentials by default.

2. Test-Level Credentials

• Individual tests within a suite can override the default credentials with their own specific set.

3. Runtime Behavior

• Currently, credentials cannot be changed dynamically during a test run, but this feature may be supported in the future.

Security & Best Practices

• Use test account credentials to limit data exposure and ensure each test has access only to the necessary data.
• Do not share credentials outside Verex. Store sensitive data securely within the platform.
• Use role-based access control to restrict credential access to authorized team members.
• Rotate credentials periodically to enhance security.
