Rerun Test Cases in different environments

Hi!

 

The roadmap portal can be found here: Welcome - Zephyr Scale | Product Roadmap (productboard.com)

 

I've listed some thoughts on both approaches.  Given the choice I would go with multiple test cycles as for me it offers the best reporting options and the least risk of 'user error'.

 

Multiple test cycles:

• It's quick and easy to clone test cycles
• Having multiple test cycles makes reporting and dashboarding clean and easy
• You can use the Test Cycle homepage to view both cycles next to each other for an overview of testing progress
• If you change the test cycles' underlying test cases, you may need to update multiple test cases in multiple test cycles (there is a request to have an 'update all' feature on the roadmap you can vote for 🙂)

 

Multiple executions:

 

• It's quick and easy to start a new execution and change the environment
• Reporting and dashboarding is a little more involved (filter by environment)
• Testers may forget to change the environment and skew your reporting
• There's no immediate overview reporting against both environments in the Test Cycle homepage to understand progress (whereas with multiple test cycles that image is clear).

 

Hope that helps.
