Execution Assigned Tests Page

Execution Planning > Details View > <Execution Element> > Assigned Tests
Note: This page is not displayed for execution plans that are assigned to a testing cycle.

The Assigned Tests page lists all tests that are assigned to the selected execution plan or configuration suite. Use this page to assign additional tests to the execution plan or configuration suite, to remove tests from the execution plan or configuration suite, or to change the execution order of the assigned tests.

If you have created a test filter, you can select it from the filter list above the Tests tree. To create a new test filter, navigate to the Tests area and click New Filter on the toolbar.

Note: All changes in this page are immediately applied.
Note: When you access the page from a sub-element of a configuration suite, the page is read-only.

The page includes the following items:

Item Description
Manual assignment Click to manually assign tests to the execution plan or configuration suite.
Use tree order Check to set the execution order of the assigned tests to follow the execution order in the Tests area.
Assign Saved Selection Click to assign a selection of tests from Tests > Grid View.
Assignment by filter Click to automatically assign tests to the execution plan or configuration suite based on a predefined filter. The available filters are listed in the list box.
Assigned Tests Amount of tests that are assigned to the execution plan or configuration suite.
Time Left in Testing Cycle [hh:mm] This field is available when an execution plan is in a testing cycle. It indicates the hours remaining in a testing cycle after subtracting the combined planned time of all tests from the Available Time in the testing cycle.
Note: Planned Time is for manual tests only.
Planned Time The estimated time to execute all tests in the execution plan or configuration suite. For configuration suites, the Planned Time is the sum of the planned times of all the configurations in the suite.
Note: Planned Time is for manual tests only.
Assigned Tests List For each assigned test, the page displays the following columns:
Order
The execution order of the test. Uncheck the Use tree order check box to change the execution order. Click in the field, type the new order of the test, and then press Enter to confirm the change. Each change in each of the fields must be confirmed by pressing Enter. If you change the orders of multiple tests without pressing Enter each time, just the last change before pressing Enter is taken.
Actions
You can perform the following actions on the assigned tests when the Manual assignment option button is clicked:
Action
Description
Remove Test Definition Assignment
Remove the selected test from the list.
Locate
Locate the selected test in the test tree.
Test
Name of the test. Click to access the test in the Tests area.
Status

Status of the last run of the test in the context of the execution plan or the configuration suite. When the test is executed outside of the context of the execution plan or configuration suite, the displayed status remains unchanged. If the test has not yet been executed in the context of the execution plan or configuration suite, the status is N/A.

For tests or test packages that are included in a configuration suite, the status is an aggregation of all statuses of all configurations within the suite:
  • If the test is assigned only to the configuration suite, the status is Passed only if it is passed in all configurations. If the status is not Passed in all configurations, the status of the worst run is propagated, with the following top-down priority:
    1. N/A
    2. Not Executed
    3. Failed
    4. Passed
    The status of a requirement that is assigned to the test is Failed if the test fails in one or more of the configurations.
  • We do not recommend assigning the test to a configuration suite and one or more simple execution plans. However, in this case, the aggregate of the configuration statuses is one status, and the last statuses of the execution plans are other statuses. The status that was executed last determines the last status of the test.
  • If the test is assigned to a simple execution plan only, the status is updated in response to the status of the last test run.
Last Execution
Date and time of the last run of the test in the context of the execution plan or configuration suite. When the test is executed outside of the context of the execution plan or configuration suite, the displayed time and date remain unchanged.
Planned Time
The estimated time for the execution of the test.
Note: Planned Time is for manual tests only.
Test Shows all tests in the Tests tree that are available for assignment to the selected execution plan or configuration suite. Double-click a test or use Assign to assign the tests to the execution plan or configuration suite. For information about inserting multiple tests from the Tests area to the execution plan or configuration suite, see Assigning Tests from Grid View to Execution Plans.
