A test suite that was interrupted in its execution can be continued later. The test plan execution starts with the test case that was not fully executed.
The Continue a Test Run page lists all test suites runs of a project that have not been finished. To get a better overview about the available interrupted test suite runs the sorting and searching functionality of the Filter / Sort panel can be used.
It is possible to search for discontinued runs of test suites and sort the results of the search with the filtering and sorting options. The filtering and sorting options become visible by opening the Filter / Sort panel. The Filter / Sort panel contains two tables. The left table contains the filtering parameters, the right table contains the sorting parameters.
Below the two tables you find two buttons:
|
|
The button applies the filter and sorting criteria specified in the two tables above and presents the filtered and sorted result in the table below. |
|
|
The button clears the tables with the filter and sorting criteria and displays all discontinued runs of test suites. |
Each line in the filter table represents a criterion that restricts the result set that is displayed in the table below, i.e. the set of all discontinued runs of test suites is filtered for the conjunction of all criteria listed in the filtering table.
By
clicking the
button, a new and empty row for a filter criterion is appended to the table. The
table with the
filtering criteria has
four columns:
The Field column denotes the field in the table that the criterion is filtering for. In the Filter / Sort panel of the Continue Test Run page are six fields that can be filtered: ID, Description, Last Executor, Operating System, Version and Timestamp.
The Type column denotes the operator that is used for the criterion. In the Continue Test Run page the following operators are available:
|
Equals |
Only the items that exactly match the value of the criterion are shown. |
|
Not equals |
The items that do not equal the value of the criterion are shown in the result table. |
|
Greater than or equals |
Items that are greater than or equal the value of the criterion are shown. |
|
Less than or equals |
Items that are less than or equal the value of the criterion are shown. |
|
Greater than |
Items that are greater than the value of the criterion are shown. |
|
Less than |
Items that are less than the value of the criterion are shown. |
|
Like |
Items that have a part that matches value of the criterion are shown. |
The Value column defines the value for the filtering criterion.
The
Action
column contains a button (
)
for deleting the criterion in the current line.
The table that contains the list of discontinued test runs can be sorted. The criteria for the sorting are specified in the right table in the Filter / Sort panel. It is possible to specify more than one sorting option. If there are more than one sorting options the uppermost sorting criterion has the highest priority, lowest row in the sorting criterion table has the lowest priority.
When the
button is clicked, a new empty row for a sorting criterion is appended at the
bottom of the
sorting options table. Each row in the sorting options table has in
the
Action
column a
button (
).
By pressing this button the row with the sorting criterion
can be removed.
The sorting options table contains three columns:
The Order By column denotes the field in the results table that is sorted for. The fields that can be sorted for in the Continue Test Run screen are ID, Description, Last Executor, Operating System, Version and Timestamp.
The Type column defines the direction of the sorting sequence, i.e. descending or ascending.
The Action column contains a button for deleting the sorting criterion.
Sometimes a test suite execution has to be suspended due to working hours or outside conditions which prevent further test executions. A tester may stop executing a test suite at any time without loosing the previously logged test results. Only the result of currently executed steps are lost in this case.
To continue the execution of a stopped/suspended test suite click on the
Action
icon of the test suite in
Figure 6.10
. To finish a suspended test suite click on the
icon of the test suite.
For each test case of the test suite the same actions as described in
Section 6.1.1, “
Run Single Test Case
”
can be applied to execute the test suite. The new test results are merged
automatically with the suspended test suite execution results.
