Entering test results in detail grid view

Test runs displayed in detail grid view include a read-only view of the entire test run and links to details for each step to guide you through the test run. You can enter results (e.g., Pass, Fail, Undetermined) for each step in this view.

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.
