    Hi MisterB ,

     

    Problem statement :

    While executing the test case, Actual result and attachment/screenshot of failed test case are not made mandatory and I understood that it is not possible to make mandatory with this version.

     

    Is there any other workaround to insist that actual result to be entered? Please help and guide.

    Thanks in advance!

    There's no way to force entry of this requirement, but as an example...

     

    You could create reports and dashboards to help manage and prompt testers.  You could have a 'management' dashboard showing the various  execution status counts for each tester, so you would know which testers have tests Not Executed.  And you could create reports for each tester, that lists there outstanding tests (filter on Results IN Not Executed) - that report is dynamic and will be specific to the tester so each time they run it they can see which tests they haven't executed.

    Thankyou but here the scenario is different, Following up later in stage or notifying tester as a report/notification wont work as per the current situation.Some how we want actual result to make it mandatory while executing the test step. so that the Executer doesn't have an option rather then providing the actual result to make that test step pass/fail.

    So checking for workarrounds.
