How do I run tests?

There are 3 possible ways to run tests in Testuff:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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. The test runner will allow you to add videos to bug reports so that you can see precisely how to recreate a bug.
  • 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 can 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 will soon redesign the runner to allow insertion of other existing issues.
  • 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:
    1. Passed – all steps have passed
    2. Inconclusive – at least one of the steps is inconclusive, and others have passed
    3. 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, references 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.

Yes. Right-click on one or more tests (using the Ctrl key), choose print and then run history. You will get a detailed list of all runs for the selected tests. The more link in the tests window gives you the same option.
