Test Runs Overview - Test Execution Guide
Test Runs are execution sessions where you run test cases and record their results. They allow you to organize test execution, track progress, assign test cases to team members, and monitor the status of your testing efforts. Test Runs can be created independently or within releases.
Core Concepts
What are Test Runs?
Test Runs are containers for executing test cases and recording their results. They provide:
- Test Execution: Run test cases and record outcomes
- Progress Tracking: Monitor test case execution progress
- Status Management: Track test case statuses (Passed, Failed, Blocked, Skipped, Not Executed)
- Assignment: Assign test cases to team members
- Results Recording: Record detailed test execution results
- Analytics: View execution statistics and completion metrics
Test Run Status
Test Runs have an overall status based on test case execution:
- Not Started: No test cases have been executed yet
- In Progress: Some test cases have been executed, but not all
- Completed: All test cases have been executed
Test Case Statuses
Within a test run, each test case can have one of these statuses:
- Passed: Test case executed successfully
- Failed: Test case execution failed
- Blocked: Test case cannot be executed (blocked by an issue)
- Skipped: Test case was skipped during execution
- Not Executed: Test case has not been executed yet
Accessing Test Runs
To access the Test Runs page:
From Project:
- Navigate to your workspace
- Select a project from the project list
- Click on Test Runs in the project sidebar navigation
From Workspace:
- Navigate to your workspace
- Click on Test Runs in the workspace sidebar navigation
- View test runs across all projects in the workspace
The Test Runs page displays all test runs in a table format, with project information shown when viewing from workspace level.
Viewing Test Runs
Test Runs Table
The test runs table displays the following columns (which can be shown or hidden):
- Title: The name of the test run
- Description: Brief description of the test run
- Project: Project name (shown in workspace view)
- Status: Visual progress bar showing test case status distribution and completion count
Column Management
You can customize which columns are visible:
- Click the Columns button in the header
- Check or uncheck columns to show or hide them
- Changes are applied immediately
Status Display
The status column shows:
- Progress Bar: Color-coded progress bar showing test case status distribution
- Green: Passed test cases
- Red: Failed test cases
- Yellow: Blocked test cases
- Blue: Skipped test cases
- Gray: Not Executed test cases
- Completion Count: Shows “completed/total” test cases (e.g., “15/20”)
Sorting
You can sort test runs by clicking on column headers:
- Click Title or Description to sort alphabetically
- Click again to reverse the sort order
- Sort indicators show the current sort direction
Pagination
Test runs are paginated for easier navigation:
- Use the pagination controls at the bottom to navigate between pages
- Adjust the number of test runs per page using the dropdown (default: 10)
- The page shows the current range (e.g., “Showing 1 - 10 of 25 test runs”)
