Execution Results

Introduction

QMetry Configurations allow you to create execution status of your choice. In addition to the system defined statuses – Fail, Blocked, Not Executed, Work In Progress and Pass, you can add customized execution status that suit your organization. You can also edit such status if you need so.

The execution status is maintained at project level. In other words, the user defined execution status could be varied across different projects.

Features to set priority of Execution Results i.e. the Order field and drag & drop feature will only be available when the Automatically propagate Test Step Execution result to Test Case option is enabled in Project Settings under QMetry Configurations.

If the option is not enabled, then the Execution Results screen will appear as before, i.e. without priority configuration features.

A. These are system defined default statuses. The rest are user defined statuses.

B. You can add new execution statuses.

Adding a New Test Execution Status

User can add new execution statuses to assign to test runs.

Enter Status Name.
Select background color for the status by clicking on the color picker for the field.
Select text color for the status by clicking on the color picker for the field.
Order: The field will be visible only if the Automatically propagate Test Step Execution result to Test Case option is enabled. Select the order of the Execution Result. You can order it either Below or Above existing execution results. The Execution Result will be assigned accordingly on the Execution screen.
Click the Add button.

Set Priority to Test Execution Status

Users can assign priority to execution statuses from Execution Results (QMetry Configurations > Execution Results).

Set Priority of New Execution Results

The Order field on the screen has two options on it: Below and Above. The adjacent drop-down has list of execution results. It allows you to set priority of Execution Results. First select the position and then the result to organize the result priority.

The default priority is set from highest to lowest:

Blocked
Fail
Work in Progress
Not Executed
Pass

Set Priority of Existing Execution Results

Users can also change the priority of Execution Results through drag and drop.

The drag icon will be disabled for system default Execution Results.

Editing an Execution Status

Such user defined status can also be edited by the users afterwards. If a status is already in use, then the changes made here will be applied to it.

A. To edit the Execution Status Name, click the Edit icon for the status and make changes to it.

B. To change the Background Color of the Execution Status, click on the Background Color picker for the status.

C. To change the Text Color of the Execution Status, click on the Text Color picker for the status.

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

Deleting an Execution Status

D. To delete the added execution status, click Delete under the Actions column. If the execution status is already in use, then you will not be allowed to delete it.
