How do I connect a test run of a test to a test execution suite in Test Management 2.0 in Madrid?

[Kristi5]

I'm working in my personal instance to test out the Test Management 2.0 functionality. I've gotten my Test Plan, Test Cycles, Test Execution Suites, and a few Tests created (and the test attached to the Execution Suite). From there, I can't figure out how to run the test and have the results and progress tied to the test in the test execution suite. Shown below is the Test Execution Suite, with a Test Execution Assignment listed at the bottom. 

To run the test itself, I have to navigate to the "Tests" page under Test Management 2.0 (right?) and then I select the Test Version, and Hit Run and start walking through the test and updating the results accordingly. When that is complete, there is no way to connect those results back to the Test Execution Suite so that it can update the percentages and results notes in the Test Plan.

 

Am I missing a step? Or doing it incorrectly? Thanks in advance for your help! 🙂 Any other advice about Test Management would be great!

No, not yet.

Hi Kristi - I am struggeling with the same thing right now. The test results of my tests do not show up in the progress section of test execution suite 😞

Have you found out meanwhile how to fix this?

Thanks,

1) First the tests under the test execution suite, should be assigned to yourself or any tester (using Assigned to field).

2) Then as a assigned tester or yourself, goto "Tests Assigned to me" module and the above tests will be listed.

3) Select the required tests to run by ticking the checkbox and then click Run button will open Test Execution pop up screen.

4) Mark the Tests as Passed/Failed/Blocked and click Done button.

5) This will update the Result column in Test execution assignments screen mentioned in Step2 and also the Test Execution Suite screen mentioned in Step1.

Note: when you directly run a test, it wont be bring the result to Test Execution Suite. 

Test cases under Tests module are like repository. Everytime you need to pull the required tests either from Tests or Test set modules to Test execution suites and then assign it for execution. Hope this answered your question.

I found this discussion 4 years later and wanted to say that this post provides the correct answer.

As a tester who opens a Test Execution Suite and then opens a child Test, it's not at all user intuitive how to Run a test tied to that suite. The key step that Balaji noted is that you have to select/highlight the desired test with an active checkbox on the left and THEN you're able to click Run to kick them off. That ties it all together so you get rollup progress metrics to your Test Plans.

Thank you!
