MetaData¶

The MetaData section is used to define additional information about tests, enhancing traceability and observability. It includes the following standard fields:

TL;DR: Use MetaData to identify the team, system, and optional labels that should travel with a Runner configuration.

When to use¶

• You want reports and logs to carry ownership and system context.
• You need environment, component, feature, or cluster labels for filtering.

• You want shared labels available across cases and overwrite files.

• Team: The team responsible for maintaining and executing the tests.

• System: The system or component under test.

In addition to these standard fields, you can include custom ExtraLabels to further categorize tests. Examples of useful labels include:

• Component
• Cluster
• Environment
• Feature

Labels are not limited to those examples and can be anything you want.
