Introduction

QMetry Configuration allows you to create the Execution Result of your choice. In addition to the system-defined Execution Results – Fail, Blocked, Not Executed, Work In Progress, and Pass, you can add customized Execution Result that suits your project's needs. You can set the Priority of the customized Execution Result. The customized Execution Result can also be Edited.

The system-defined Execution Results are available for all projects. On other hand, the QA manager can define custom Execution Results at the project level and set the priority of the result.

Note: System default results can neither be edited nor deleted.

Example: Your testing process needs execution result Omit to exclude some Test cases from execution. The QA manager can add Omit status and set the priority below Fail.

Permissions Required:

Jira Permissions: Browse Project permissions are required.

QMetry Permissions:

  • If Enabled then the below permissions are required.

    • Configuration Modify

Auto Update Execution Result

Users with “Configuration Modify” rights can enable or disable the Auto Update Execution Result feature. If enabled, the test case execution result will be auto-updated in accordance with the change in test step execution result. Any change in the execution result of a test step will also impact the execution result of its test case.

This is a project-based configuration. The settings will be applicable only to the current project.

Note: If an execution result is linked to test assets, it cannot be deleted. Attempting to delete these execution results will produce an error message.

Set Priority of Execution Result

You can set the priority of the Execution Result when the Auto Update Execution Result is enabled. The sequence of the system default results represents their priority. You can add new execution results anywhere between the system results.

For example, in the following image, a new status “Omit” is added between the “Fail" and “Work In Progress” statuses. You can still arrange the statuses in sequence.

You can change the Execution Result precedence by a Drag and Drop operation or by directly changing the sequence number.

Example: Your testing process needs execution result Omit to exclude some test cases from execution. The QA manager can add Omit status and set the priority below Fail.

Required Permissions: Users with Configuration Modify permission can modify the Skip Validation settings.

The confirmation message appears.

5. Click Enable to make the bug linking mandatory for the selected execution result.

You can enable the Report Bug setting for multiple execution results.

If you disable Report Bug for the execution result, it allows you to update that execution result without linking any bugs to the test case or test step.
