Test Execution

A Test Execution is an issue type that aggregates a user-determined collection of Tests. It monitors and verifies if those Tests are working as expected in a target context and environment. Through the Overall Execution Status, which is updated as each test is being performed, the user is informed about the progress of the Test Execution, including which tests passed, failed, are being executed or are waiting to be performed.

An association between a Test Execution issue and a Test issue is called a Test Run. Hence, a Test Execution is composed of a list of Test Runs.

A Test Execution issue can be assigned to a Tester. It is also possible to assign individual Test Runs to several Testers. 

Sub-Test Execution

A Sub-Test Execution has exactly the same functionalities as the Test Execution issue type. The difference between them is that the Sub-Test Execution is a sub-task and can be created within the context of a requirement.

Creating a Test Execution as a sub-task of the requirement issue provides you the ability to track executions in the Agile board.
