Test information panel

This page describes content of Test information panel on test issues.

The Test information panel shows test statistics of current issue, the section with related to the issue defects, and a list of available actions. Panel also allows you to export tests to HTML or PDF file.

Each of the test issues has common section names in the Test information panel but each panel uses a different data source. Below you can find panel description for given test issue:

• Test information panel in Test Plan
• Test information panel in Test Case
• Test information panel in Test Case Template

Test information panel in Test Plan

1. Expanded view mode

The Expanded view button is responsible for expanding/collapsing the Test Cases panel. If the width of the Test Cases panel is insufficient, click the button and the panel will expand to the width of the screen. After activating this mode, the Test information panel will be moved under the Test Cases panel. To return to the previous state (collapse the view), click the Expanded view button again.

2. Progress section

This section shows the progress of Test Cases execution. It is divided into four parts:

1. Iteration view mode
   The Test Cases panel has two differrent viewing modes:

• Current Iteration shows the ratio of not executed to executed Test Cases in a given Iteration.
• All Test Cases shows the ratio of not executed to executed Test Cases in Test Plan.
  Info

  You can decide which Test Case statuses will be considered as executed (Closed statuses) in Test Case section in TestFLO Settings.

  The difference between these two modes is that in the Current Iteration the number of Test Cases may vary from the number presented in the All Test Cases mode which shows the progress of all existing Test Cases on the Test Plan.
  
  Example

  For example, twenty-one Test Cases were created as part of the Test Plan. After the first iteration of these twenty-one Test Cases, ten of them failed. For the second iteration was added only those ten failed Test Cases. In this case the Current iteration mode shows that in the 2nd iteration of a given Test Plan there are ten Test Cases to be executed, while in the All Test Cases mode will be still visible twenty-one Test Cases.

  

2. Iteration name
   The Iteration name is visible when viewing the Current iteration mode. By default, each iteration has a number that increases as a new iteration is created. The Iteration name can be changed freely. Renaming an iteration may allow you to more easily identify the tests it contains. For example, it can mean a given sprint, version, build, or other important context that will help you in reporting at a later stage.
   
   Warning

   Users who have permission to use the Next iteration operation can change the Iteration name.

   To rename iteration, hover over the Iteration name until the pencil appears. Click on it and enter a new Iteration name. Confirm with a tick or click outside the field. To cancel, click on the cross.
   Note

   The Iteration name will also be changed in the Test Plan Iterations tab.

3. Ratio of not executed to executed Test Cases
   This part helps you check how many Test Cases have been executed and how many are waiting to be executed. In addition, the number of executed Test Cases is divided into statuses (closed statuses).
   Info

   Closed statuses for Test Cases are counted as executed. By default, the statuses of Pass and Fail are set in the configuration. If you want to add or change statuses you can do so in the Closed statuses option in the Test Cases section in TestFLO Settings.

4. Execution progress as a percentage.
   This section shows the progress bar and the percentage of the executed Test Cases based on the statuses.

3. Iteration section

This section shows operations related to iteration:

• Next iteration operation creates next iteration with chosen strategy.
• Reset current iteration operation reset all Test Cases and Test Case Executions to their initial state in current iteration.

4. Actions section

This sections shows list of dedicated actions for Test Plan:

• Assign Test Cases operation allows to change Assignee of all not executed Test Cases.
• Copy Test Plan operation copy Test Plan with chosen strategy.
• Create Test Cases operation allows to create new Test Cases from selected Test Case Templates.
• Delete Test Cases operation allows to delete selected Test Cases from Test Plan.
• Link with Requirement operation allows to link Test Plan with given requirement(s).
• Update Test Cases operation updates all not executed Test Cases that were created from given Test Case Template.
  Info

  To learn more about these operations, see Test Plan operations.

• Snapshots show a list of snapshots taken.
  Info

  To learn more about this action, see postfunction TestFLO - Make snapshot of test progress state.

5. Exports section
