Add Tests from Test Sets
In practical terms this operation is very similar to adding tests, instead you will just be searching and selecting Test Set issues.
Keep in mind that when adding a Test Set issue to a Test Execution, all the Test issues associated with the Test Set are added to the Test Execution.
The Test Set issue is not directly associated with a Test Execution, so changes to the Test Set after it was added will not affect the Test Execution.
Open the Test Execution with which you want to associate a Test Set.
Select Add > Tests (under the Tests tab on the view page) to open the Add Test Sets dialog box.
You are then presented with a screen that will let you select :
- Issue individually
- JQL
- or Search using filtering.
And Add your Test Plan to the Test Execution
Associate with a Test Plan
You can associate Test Executions with Test Plans by editing the field Associated Test Plans in the Test Plans section in Test Execution issue view page. Note that with this method, only the Test Execution will be associated with the Test Plan; the Tests will not be associated. To inline edit the Associated Test Plans field, just hover over the field view area, click it and add or remove the Test Plans.
If the Test Execution is associated with a Test Plan and contains Tests that are not in the Test Plan, a warning message will be displayed telling you how many tests in the Test Execution are not in the Test Plan. A Add Tests button will be shown in case you want to add these tests to the Test Plan.
There will be one warning message for each Test Plan associated with the Test Execution that does not contain all the Tests in the Test Execution.
Remove Tests
To remove Tests from the Test Execution (i.e. delete Test Runs):
Step 1: Open the Test Execution issue.
Step 2: Hover over the desired Test Run (under the Tests section on the view page)
Step 3: Click the Actions button that appears in the last column. The actions menu should pop up with the available actions.
Step 4: Click Remove action. A confirmation message appears.
Step 5: Choose Delete to delete the Test Run or Cancel to abort this action.
Assigning Work
There are two ways to distribute work between Testers.
- A Test Execution issue can be created per Tester by assigning the issue to a specific Tester, or
- Within a Test Execution issue, you can assign individual Test Runs to Testers. Test Runs are assigned to the Test Execution issue assignee by default. Only users with permission to assign the Test Execution issue can assign Test Runs.
When assigning individual Test Runs, it is also possible to assign based on any user type field present on the Test cases. For instance, you'll be able to assign Test Runs to the Test issue assignee. This allows users that are normally used to execute a specific Test case (that are assigned to the Test case), to be the default assignees on Test Runs within a Test Execution.
To assign individual Test Runs to testers,
Step 1: Open the Test Execution issue.
Step 2: Hover over the desired Test Run (under the Tests section on the view page)
Step 3: Click the Actions button that appears in the last column. The actions menu should pop up with the available actions.
Step 4: Click the Assign action. The assign dialog appears.
Step 5: Start typing to find the user to assign the Test Run. Click Assign to complete the action or Cancel to abort it.
