Enhancement in Test Plan Categories Grouping and Visual Organization

Hello Team

Currently, ETM Test Plan Categories are displayed as a flat list and do not support logical grouping, section headers, visual separators, or custom labels. This makes it difficult to organize and manage a large number of categories within a Test Plan.

We would like the ability to create custom group headers (for example, "DTNA Test Planning") and group related categories under those headers. Additional capabilities such as visual separators, expandable/collapsible groups, and administrator-managed category grouping would significantly improve usability and readability.

Example:

Current:

  • Integration Test Cycles
  • Transmission
  • Cluster
  • Engine
  • Axle Configuration
  • Vehicle Platform

Desired:

DTNA Test Planning

  • Transmission
  • Cluster
  • Engine
  • Axle Configuration
  • Vehicle Platform

Other Categories

  • Integration Test Cycles

This enhancement would reduce reliance on naming-convention workarounds, improve navigation for users, and provide a more structured way to manage categories within ETM Test Plans.
