Test artifact status icons

The status icons are displayed throughout the application and are also in the links to test artifacts that are displayed in the Change and Configuration Management and Requirements Management applications. The meaning of a status icon depends on the artifact type. The status icons show the following information about these artifact types:

• Test cases and test suites: The status icon shows the highest severity result among the most recent execution results for each test case execution record or test suite execution record. For example, if a test case has a Passed result in one environment and a Blocked result in another environment, the Blocked status icon is displayed for the test case. If test case execution records for the same test case and configuration have results across multiple iterations, then the execution result with the latest start date is only considered. You can navigate to Manage Project Properties > Test Result Preferences and select The latest execution result under The execution status of a test case or test suite is determined by to display the status icon based on the latest execution result regardless of the test environment.
  The severity levels, from most to least severe, are as follows:

  • Blocked
  • Error
  • Failed
  • Deferred
  • Partially Blocked
  • Inconclusive
  • Incomplete
  • Permanently Failed
  • Passed
  • Not Run
  • In Progress
  • Paused
• Test scripts: The status icon shows the most recent execution result.
• Test case results and test suite results: The status icon shows the status of the result.
