Execute Test Case

This chapter provides information on how to execute Test Cases in Jira using RTM.

To start Test Case Execution:

1. Navigate to Project > Test Management > Test Executions.
2. Click on the target Test Execution.
3. Choose Test Case Execution.
   

   

Each TCE has three tabs: Steps, Details and Relations.

Steps

In Steps tab, there are three ways to change steps result:

1. by Change steps status: tick step’s checkbox to change steps status
2. by Change status of selected group
3. by changing step’s status
   

   

You can also:

4. Fill in Actual result column
5. Report a new Defect or link TCE with existing one
   Info

   Here you can add a Defect to particular step in TCE. Thanks to this, you can specify the place where the bug occurred. It’s also possible to add a Defect to TCE, if the problem refers to whole Test Case Execution. Read more about it here
6. Upload an Evidence

   

7. Check Attachments
   Note

   In TCE, Attachment field is a read-only section. You can add Attachments to Test Case before executing Test Plan.
8. Comment TCE

Details

In Details tab you can view or configure the following:

• Execution Details: edit the basic information about the Test Case (Assignee, RTM Environment, Result, Priority)
• Test Case information (non-editable): information which is based on Test Case from which executions were performed
• Description (non-editable)

Relations

Navigate to Relations tab and view the dependencies between Test Case Execution and Requirements, Test Case, Test Plan, Test Executions and detected Defects. These dependencies are generated automatically from previously configured relations.

Result

The Test Case Execution has been configured.

Info

At the bottom of every TCE, there’s a floating panel that helps with:

• Setting the Result of TCE
• Adding and linking Defect
• Navigating to previous or next TCE

Bulk edit of TCE

Some fields in the Test Case Execution module can be modified with bulk edit functionality. Because TCE objects aren’t native Jira issues (not like the rest of RTM testing elements), there is a dedicated panel that makes multiple editing of Test Casse Executions possible.
Thanks to this, a user is able to change following fields:

• Assignee
• Priority
• RTM Environment
• Actual Time
• Result

The rest of the fields visible on the Test Case Execution view are blocked for editing and result directly from Test Cases included in a specific Execution.

Steps

To edit TCE fields:

1. Navigate to RTM project > Test Management > Test Execution.
2. Select Test Execution in which you wish to change the fields of included TCE.
3. Select Test Cases and click Edit.
4. Change values in selected fields. The ones you prefer not to modify you can leave in Don’t change status.
5. Click Save.
