Test Run Status
Archiving a Test issue
Even though the Test is read only, it still can be executed and all fields from the execution page can be edited (evidences, steps, comments, custom fields, etc).
Archiving a Test Execution
The Test Execution will still affect the Test Run Status of the Test. This can create a lot of confusion to the user because the Test Execution will not be listed in the Test Run Section of the Test and there will be no indication that an archived Issue is affecting the Test Run Status.
Requirement Status and Coverage
Archiving a Test
The Test Issue still affects the Requirement Status, even after reseting this custom field. However the Test is not included in the Test Coverage and this may create confusion to the user because there is no indication that an archived Test is affecting the Requirement Status.
When clicking on the link in the Requirement Status bar the Test will not be found in the JQL search.
Archiving a Test Plan
In the Test Coverage Section we will not be able to perform the analysis in the scope of the archived Test Plan because the Issue will not be found in the selector. However, the Test Plan still contributes for the coverage.
Test Execution Overall Execution Status
When archiving a Test it will still contributes to the Overall Execution Status. However this might cause confusion to the user because the Test will not be listed in the Tests Section.
Test Plan Overall Execution Status
When archiving a Test issue it will still be included in the Overall Execution Status. However, it will be counted with the wrong status (in the example bellow it should be FAIL) and will not be included in the Test list.
The Overall Execution Status bar of the Test Plan board behaves the same way.
Issue Section data tables
Issue sections will not display the associated archived issue. Instead it will display an empty filtered table. See the example bellow for a Test associated with an archived Test Set.
This will affect the following Issue page sections:
- Tests Section of Pre-Condition page
- Tests Section of Test Execution page
- Tests Section of Test Plan page
- Tests Section of Test Set page
- Test Runs Section of Test Page
- Test Plans Section of Test Page
- Test Sets Section of Test Page
- Pre-Conditions Section of Test Page
Test Repository/Test Plan Board
There is an incorrect Test count if the archived Test is associated with a folder. Also the Test will be visible if associated with a folder, otherwise it will not appear in the orphans.
Automated Steps Library
When archiving a Test it still being included in Tests count but the JQL link will not work.
