Tracking test execution status

Several techniques are available to help you track test execution status.

Test execution results
When you execute a test, the execution details are saved in an execution result. You can view the results immediately, or you can later access the results through the history of a test case execution record or a test suite execution record.
Tracking test execution status from a list of test plans
Several views are provided that let you track test execution status at various levels of detail.
Tracking test execution status from within test plans or test suites
You can track test execution status from within a test plan or test suite.
Tracking status from a list of test execution records
You can track test execution status by viewing a list of test case or test suite execution records. You can organize the list by owner, priority, test case, iteration, category, or last result. Testers can use the list to track individual progress. Test leads and managers can use the list to track the overall progress of the team.
Tracking test execution status by using the Execution Console
You can use the Execution Console to see an overview of test execution progress.
Configuring the display of execution status within test plans or test suites
You can configure which execution status bars are displayed in a test plan or test suite.
Test artifact status icons
Icons that represent test artifacts are sometimes decorated with smaller icons that show the execution status of the artifact.
