Running Tests
How do I run tests?
There are 3 possible ways to run tests in Testuff:
- Tests tab - choose the relevant test, right click it, and select Run. After doing so, the test's run will be added to the run history of the test.
- Labs tab - double click an assigned test to run it. If you run a test that has been assigned to someone else, it will be automatically reassigned to you for due credit.
- My tasks tab - double click a test to run it. All tests that have been assigned to you in labs or tests that you started running by yourself will show up here.
Now that the test runner is open, what do I do?
- Record a video of the test. It will allow you to add it to bug reports you open and rewind to look back at some bug that suddenly happened so that you could check how to recreate it.
- Mark steps as either passed, failed, or inconclusive.
- You have the ability to add comments while running the test. Click on the comment link to open the editor.
- If you mark a step as failed the bug reporter will launch so that you could report an issue. If you don't wish to do so, just close it and the step will remain in the failed status. Note - we would like to redesign the runner to allow inserting also existing issues, this is coming soon.
- Marking a step as inconclusive will allow you to leave a comment. This comment will be opened as a ticket in your tracker.
- The test will be considered complete and achieve the relevant status in the following situations:
- Passed - all steps are passed.
- Inconclusive - at least one of the steps is inconclusive, the other ones are passed.
- Failed - one or more of the steps failed.
Can I edit a test during a test run?
Of course. Simply click the Edit link at the top of the runner, edit the test, and save it. The test run will change accordingly. Note that if you edit the test from a different location, such as the test tab, it won't affect the test run.
Adding a comment
You can add a comment to the test while running it, using the 'comment' link. Use it to add information about load time, reference you may want to add or any other information you wish to keep with the test run. All comments can be then viewed as part of the run history.
Can I print the run history of tests?
Yes. Right-click on one or more tests (using the ctrl button), choose Print and then run history. You will get the detailed list of all runs for the selected tests. The more link in the tests window gives you the same option.
