  • Execution Result

  • Defects: You can filter test cases with defects or test cases without defects linked to them.

  • More: Reporter, Labels, Components, Build, Status, etc.

Filters created are user-specific so they will be saved and displayed on a user profile basis. This means that when the user opens the execution screen, they see the same filters applied on the screen.
