Entering test results in grid view

Test runs displayed in grid view include test steps, expected results, and attachments organized in rows and columns.

If issues occur during the test, you can enter problem statements to indicate how the actual results are different from expected results. Problem statements, which are used when creating issues from test runs, should be specific so other users can reproduce the issue. For example, if you perform a step to log in to the tested application and the login fails, you can enter the error displayed or other behavior that occurs.

Tip: Review all information in the test run before running the test and entering results. See Running tests.

1. Select the test run on the Test Runs list window and click Edit.

The Edit Test Run dialog box opens.

2. Click the Steps tab.

The read-only test case steps are displayed.

3. Perform each step. Make sure the actual results match any expected results provided.

Note: The Attachments column may provide additional files you need to perform a step. Double-click an attachment to view it.

4. If an issue occurs when you perform a step, double-click the corresponding cell in the Problem Statement column and enter information to describe the problem.

By default, problem statements are displayed on the same row as the related step. Select View problem statements on separate line to display problem statements in rows under the related steps. If this option is selected, select a step and click Insert Problem Statement to add a statement below the step.

Note: You can also add attachments to help other users understand issues you encountered. See Attaching files.

5. Select the check box in the row when you complete the step. This can help you track your progress in the test run.

6. Click Go To Test Case to view the related test case. See Viewing test cases.

7. Click Create Issue to add an issue to report any problems found during testing. See Creating issues from test runs.
