Passing a previously failed test case

Hi Edna -

All you need to do is run the Test Set again. This creates a new Run with updated History - you can pass or fail the Tests within the Set the same way you did with the initial Run.

Hi Barbara,



When you said start a Run again, are you implying a new Run? I am not sure how this is done...



You see we are conducting retests in  a 'partially' executed Test Set i.e. some test cases in the Test Set are still Awaiting Run. Basically, the Test Set is 'Paused' by the testers and they re-start it at a later time when they want to continue. When they click Run for a Paused test set, it displays the same Test Set they paused and the same status for the test cases. 



I am obviously missing something here...I've attached a sample screen shot of how our test sets look like. Hope this helps.



Thank you

Edna

Hi Edna,

You cannot go back into the run and change the status of a test that was already run - that would change the history for that test, and you need to see that it was run on that date, in that test set. When a test is Paused, you can only continue running the tests in the set that were not run. The tester needs to finish the run - or end it as incomplete, which closes off the run - then start the test set again.

If the tester only  needs to re-run a few of the test in the original run, they need to set up a smaller test set with only those tests.

Hope this helps!
