Guided test execution

Notify testers about the test cases that are assigned to them through guided test execution by using the Assessments application to notify testers about assigned test cases.

Any user can perform tests using the guided testing feature. The tester (tm_tester) role is not required. An assessment metric category is created for each tester in a test plan.

The test manager assigns testers to test cases from the Test Plan form and initiates the testing by assigning an end date for the testing. Testers can navigate to Self-Service > My Tests or Self-Service > My Assessments to view and work on the test cases assigned to them. For more information, see Initiate guided test execution.

Any changes to the test plan, test case, or tests are automatically updated in the assessment. As the tester progresses through the assessment, the test plan and test case are updated when the tester submits results.

The test manager can cancel the guided test execution at any time directly from the Test Plan form. For more information, see Cancel guided test execution.
