How to execute a Test Plan Run

How to create Test Cases and Test Plans inside a Test Plan view

About this task

To execute a Test Plan Run, please create it in advance. A new Test Plan Run should be created every time a Test Plan needs to be executed. This allows to track the history of Test Plan’s executions.

To start a Test Plan Run execution, do the following:

Procedure

Open a detailed view for the Test Plan.
Go to the Runs tab
Select the Test Plan Run you want to execute. Or, add a new one if it is required
Click Run button.

What to do next

You will be automatically forwarded to a Test Plan Run view and the next Test Case Run will be opened. Here you can go through Test Cases and specify a run result for each of them.

For every Test Step you can specify it’s run result: Passed or Failed.

When all the Test Steps have been executed, you can select one of 3 run results for the whole Test Case:

Passed - a test case has been passed successfully
Failed - there are some issues related to this test case
Skipped - a test case will be executed later

Choose a Test Case Run result and click ‘Next Test Case’ button to move to the next test case run execution.

There is a Note field available on a test case run view, so that you can add any comments, notes and actual test case results to this field if required. A Note field becomes required, when a Failed test case run result is selected.

You can add images to the Note field dragging and dropping them from a finder.

You can also create a bug, if it was found during a test plan execution.

Any moment you can make a pause in a test plan execution process and Complete or Change Run later if required.

When all the test case runs in a test plan run have been executed, a test plan run can be moved to its final state. Any changes to a test plan run after the run has been moved to its final state are forbidden; these test plan runs are read-only.
