Test Runs

A test run is a set of test cases gathered for execution, with assignees, statuses, and a schedule of its own. Test cases can be added by hand, pulled in automatically by filter, or added all at once.

This page covers creating a test run, its properties, editing, cloning, closing, deleting, and sharing one by public link.

  1. In the left navigation, open Test Runs.

  2. Click Create Test Run.

  3. On the Test Run Details page, enter a Title. A Description is optional.

  4. Click Add Test Cases.

  5. In the Attach Test Cases dialog, choose how to add the test cases, then click Select Test Cases.

    • Select Test Cases Individually: only the test cases you pick, with nothing added automatically afterwards.
    • Adding Cases Using Filters: every test case matching your filter criteria, based on test case properties.
    • Add All Test Cases: every available test case.
  6. If you chose Adding Cases Using Filters, select the filters and their values, then click Apply Filters.

  7. On the Add Test Cases to Test Run page, confirm the test cases selected.
