Entering manual test results in grid view

Manual 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 manual 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 manual test run before running the test and entering results. See Running manual tests.
