Owners let you assign team members to tests and suites. When a test fails, owners can be automatically @mentioned in Slack—so the right person is notified immediately.

​
Assigning Owners

​
On a Suite

Suite owners apply to all tests in the suite (unless a test has its own owners).
  1. Go to the Tests page
  2. Find the suite in the sidebar and click the ⋯ menu
  3. Select Edit Suite
  4. Choose owners from the dropdown
  5. Click Save

​
On a Test

You can also manage owners from within a test’s settings. This lets you either set custom owners for that specific test, or update the suite’s owners (which applies to all tests in the suite).
  1. Open a test and click Configure (or use the ⋯ menu → Settings)
  2. In the Owners section, select team members
  3. Choose how to save:
    • Update just this test — sets custom owners for this test only, overriding the suite
    • Update all tests in suite — updates the suite’s owners, affecting all tests that inherit
  4. Click Save
To restore a test to its suite’s owners, click Revert to suite owners in the test settings.

​
How Inheritance Works

Tests inherit their owners from their suite by default. This means:
  • Changing a suite’s owners automatically updates all tests that inherit from it
  • You can override inheritance by choosing Update just this test when setting owners
  • You can revert a test back to inheriting at any time

​
Getting Notified in Slack

When creating a test alert, enable Mention owners to @mention test owners in Slack when failures occur.
  1. Go to Alerts and create or edit a Test Alert
  2. Enable the Mention owners option
  3. When a test fails, owners are @mentioned in the Slack notification
For this to work, owners must have Slack accounts with matching email addresses in your connected workspace.
