Validators

TestFLO validators are added to Jira’s built-in validator list.

TestFLO - Test Case order of execution from Test Plan Validator

This workflow validator controls the execution order of Test Cases based on their order from the Test Cases panel in the Test Plan. The validator is active only when Enforce Test Case execution order is enabled in the Test Execution tab in the project settings in the project containing the current Test Case. Based on the statuses set in the project settings, the validator checks if the previous Test Case in the Test Cases panel has the appropriate status. To transition a Test Case into another status, all Test Cases preceding it on the Test Plan in the same iteration need to be in one of the statuses defined in the project settings. Otherwise, the user receives a message that they cannot execute the given Test Case and needs to return to the one indicated in the message.

Example

Validator is set in the Test transition in the Test Case workflow and requires a Pass or Fail status from the previous Test Case.

In the Test Cases panel, a specific order of Test Cases execution is set. Two Test Cases are still waiting for execution: SAMPLE-125 and SAMPLE-131. When the user wants to perform SAMPLE-131 before the SAMPLE-125 (Test transition), the validator returns the following message:
