Execute Test Case

This chapter provides information about Test Case Execution.

Note
  • Test Cases are executed only as a part of Test Plan. Test Cases are visible in Test Execution as a list, where you can monitor results or assign each of them to a tester.
  • Even if you have one Test Case, it’s mandatory to add it to the Test Plan before execution.
  • Test Case Execution is not a regular Jira issue. It means TCEs are not visible in issue navigator and can’t be linked with any issues.

To start Test Case Execution:

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

    Configure Test Case Execution with Requirements and Test Management for Jira app

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:

  1. Fill in Actual result column
  2. 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

    Note

  5. Comment TCE
Note
Files are stored in Jira Issue. Evidence’s size depends on your Jira settings. Read more about attachments in Configure file attachments and Attach files and screenshots to issues chapters.

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 > RTM > 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.
