Entering manual test results in detail grid view

Manual test runs displayed in detail grid view include an overview area that provides a read-only view of the entire manual test run and a detail area that guides you step-by-step through the manual 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 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.
