How to assign build to Test Suite(s)?

QMetry defines a Build as a specific iteration of the product/domain to be tested. The feature allows the tester to assign a "build" (aka patch, drop, or increment) to test suites that indicate the version of the product being tested. It helps to track multiple builds of software more dynamically without having to add separate test suites with every new build.

Note: The build should be already added and associated to Release and Cycle, which are associated with the test execution. Read more about Managing Builds.


Below are the steps to assign a build to a test suite. Build assigned to a test suite will be applied to all the test cases under that test suite.

Steps

1. Click on the Set Your Build button at the right corner of the screen.

2. Open the Select Build drop-down and select the build you want the test cases to be executed against. This list contains all the builds that are linked to release and cycle, which are associated with the test execution that is being carried out.



3. Click on Refresh icon to refresh the Build list, Similarly click on 'Manage Build' to make changes on Build associated with Project (i.e. It will redirect to - Home/Project/Builds section)

The confirmation pop-up opens as soon as you select the Build to link, confirming -

"Do you wish to reset execution status to "Not Run" for all Test Case(s)?"



  • Change without Resetting: It will assign the selected Build to test cases without changing their execution status.
  • Yes, Reset: It will assign the selected Build to test cases and will reset the execution status of all the test cases to "Not Run".


You can opt either for resetting or not resetting the test case execution status.

The selected build will be set for the test run and for all the test cases under it.


If you do not want to apply Build for the execution, then open the Build drop-down and just remove the Build selection. 

The Build selection will be removed after confirmation.
