Feature Request: Have an actual Test Run UI

Hi I thought I'd throw this out here because I appreciate your support and know you care about your customers.  



In the Test Cases area, I've found it to be not very ideal as a tester when I need to run (manual) tests.  This is because there is not really a test run UI.  For instance, I have grouped my tests together (in a folder, let's say) and am ready to run my tests.  I have to click on the "Edit this record" icon of a test case to run the test.  Most test applications will have a UI which is separate from the edit screen when running tests.  For example, a window will pop up with the tests to run and only the fields (comments, status etc) that you need to update.  Of course I would appreciate a way to edit while testing if needed, but having to go into edit mode of a test while testing is cumbersome and may cause auditing issues if these test cases have been peer reviewed.



Obviously, I can use this the way it is and realize that while testing I can click to the next test case which makes it faster... but I'd really like to have a test run UI here.



Thoughts?

    Hi Kary -

    We usually recommend that you first create a filter/sort for the tests you know you need to run -  then you can click through with the arrows to go through the set of tests pretty quickly.

    I'd love to hear other input as well - and of course I'll submit this as an enhancement request.

    Thanks!

    I will chime in as well.  In a release slated for later this year (Release 9.7), we do plan to implement a separate run engine that gives you a separate process for running manual tests.
