Execution Result

Introduction

QMetry Configuration allows you to create the Execution Result of your choice. In addition to the system defined Execution Results – Fail, Blocked, Not Executed, Work In Progress and Pass, you can add customized Execution Result that suits your project's need. You can set the Priority of the customized Execution Result. The customized Execution Result can also be Edited.

The system-defined Execution Results are available for all projects. On other hand, the QA manager can define custom Execution Results at the project level and set the priority of the result.

Note: System default results can neither be edited nor be deleted.

Example: Your testing process needs execution result Omit to exclude some Test cases from execution. The QA manager can add Omit status and set the priority below Fail.

Copy Execution Result to Other QMetry Projects

Users can copy Execution Results from one project to another project. The functionality allows users to use similar items in different QMetry projects without having to add these items individually.

Users can save their time as they do not have to create redundant/duplicate items for different QMetry projects.

1. Select the items that you want to copy to other QMetry Projects and click Copy at the top right corner.

2. Now select the project wherein you want to copy the selected items. You can select multiple QMetry Projects (maximum 5 projects) at a time to copy the items.

Duplicate entities will be ignored while copying.

Deleting a Custom Execution Result

Users having the 'Configuration modify' access to the project can delete custom execution results that are created by users. System Default execution results can not be deleted.

Below are the steps to delete execution result:

1. Go to QMetry menu > Configuration > Select your Project 

2. Under Test Execution select Execution Result. The Execution Result's list is displayed on the screen.

3. Click on the Delete icon of the Execution Result that you want to delete.
   
   

Priority of Execution Result

The sequence of the system default results represents their priority. Admin can add new execution results anywhere in between the system results. The Auto Update Execution Result should be enabled under Preferences.

For example, in the below image a new status “Omit” is added in between the “Fail" and “Work In Progress” status. You can easily change the sequence of the execution results by either (A) using the drag and drop operation or (B) changing the sequence number.
