# Publish

# Publish a test group {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated October 23, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Publish a test group so that you can relate it to a specification or a product model and your teams see only approved test groups.

## Before you begin

The test group must be in the Draft state.

A manual test group needs at least one test definition. For more information, see [Map test definitions to a test group](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/cgJW3dItjo_KevFWgLa6rg "Map test definitions to a draft test group and set the order in which they run.").

Role required: sn_st_mgmt.test_def_manager

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllService Test ManagementTest GroupsAll.
2. Select the test group that you want to publish.
3. Select Publish.

## Result

The state of the test group changes from Draft to Published. You can't change its definition mappings or its execution type after it's published.

## What to do next

Relate the published test group to a specification or a product model. See [Associate a test group to a specifications or product model](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/zx99FrmgO5c7cngtCeIQlQ "Establish a relationship between test groups and their respective specifications or product model to determine the tests that must be executed for a given inventory. This relationship confirms that the appropriate tests are identified and executed based on the defined specifications. Without this association, the system can’t accurately assign the necessary tests for each inventory item.").
