Test runs

A test run executes a plan and records a result for each test case.

Test run execution

Create a test run

  1. Open Test Runs.
  2. Select Create Test Run.
  3. Select a test plan.
  4. Enter a run name.
  5. Select an assignee. This step is optional.
  6. Select Create Run.

A run has two states: In Progress and Completed.

Execute a test run

During execution, Windshift shows one test case at a time. For each case, set one result:

Result Meaning
Passed The case matched the expected result.
Failed The case did not match the expected result.
Blocked The case could not run.
Skipped The case was not run.
Not run The default state.

For a steps case, record the actual result and notes for each step. For a BDD case, record the result for each Examples row and each step.

Select Next Case to move to the next test case. Select Previous Case to go back.

When a step fails, Windshift marks the step. Link the step to an existing work item, or create a new work item. The defect then appears in the same backlog as delivery work.

A work item linked from a failed test step

The run detail view also links a whole result to one or more work items.

Finish a run

Select Finish Execution to mark the run complete. Windshift records the end time.

Run detail

The run detail view shows:

  • The results summary: total, passed, failed, blocked, and skipped.
  • The success rate.
  • The step results for each case.
  • The linked work items.
