Execute Test

To execute a Test from a Test Execution:

Open the Test Execution you wish to run.

Hover over the desired Test Run (under the Tests section on the view page)

Click Run action to open the Execution page to start the execution.

You can see a detailed explanation of the execution screen here.

Note: If you do not not have permission to execute the Test Run, the "Run" option will not be available.

Execute Tests Inline

To execute Test Runs inline from the Test Execution view screen, this option must be enabled in the Xray administration page. The option for setting the Test Run status manually without having to execute all Test Steps (or Examples, in the case of Cucumber Tests) must also be enabled in the Xray administration page.

Given that the above options are enabled and you have permission to execute the Test, the context menu for executing Test Runs, accessed by the Gear button on each Test, must show the available transitions. 

When executing inline Tests, the status of the manual steps (or Examples, in the case of Cucumber Tests) can be changed automatically. The following rules are applied:

• PASSED: All step statuses will be changed to PASS independently of their current status.
• FAILED All step statuses will remain unchanged, even if they are all PASS. This is because a Test might fail due to a Pre-Condition.
• To Do: All step statuses will be changed to TODO.  
• EXECUTING: The Test Execution status will be changed to EXECUTING.
  
• CUSTOM: The Test Execution status will be changed to the chosen custom status.
  

To execute a Test Run inline:

 Open the Test Execution issue you wish to run.
