#Releases FAQs - Management Questions

#What is a release?

A release represents a planned version or milestone of your project. It helps organize test executions around specific project versions and track progress over time.

#How do I create a release?

To create a release:

1. Navigate to the Releases page
2. Click “Create Release”
3. Enter release details (name, description, dates)
4. Set the release status
5. Click “Create”

See the Creating Releases guide for details.

#What release statuses allow test execution?

You can create test runs in releases with these statuses:

• In Progress: Active release
• In Review: Release under review
• Approved: Release has been approved

Releases in Draft, Rejected, Paused, Completed, or Archived status cannot have test runs.

#Can I have multiple test runs in one release?

Yes, a release can contain multiple test runs. This allows you to run tests multiple times throughout the release cycle as the project evolves.

#What happens when I change a release status?

Changing a release status affects whether you can create test runs:

• Moving to Draft, Rejected, Paused, Completed, or Archived prevents new test runs
• Moving to In Progress, In Review, or Approved allows test runs

#How do I track release progress?

You can track release progress by:

• Viewing test run completion within the release
• Checking test execution statistics
• Reviewing defect counts and status
• Using Observatory analytics
