Add a result

Add a result for each step in a test case

If you use the steps template for a test case, you can add the result of each step. It allows you to track the exact step that caused the failure of the test case.

Follow these steps to add test results to a test case in a test run:

  1. Navigate to the relevant test run.
  2. Locate and click the test case with a steps template to which you wish to add step results.


    The test case details view appears.

  3. Based on the result of a step, assign the appropriate status to it. The options are:

    • Pass: The step was executed successfully without issues.
    • Fail: The step encountered issues and did not execute as expected.
    • Skip: The step was intentionally not executed.
    • Blocked: The step could not be executed due to external factors or dependencies.
    • Retest: The step needs to be executed again, typically after a failure or other issue.

Set the result to individual step of the test case You can also assign Untested to a step and reset the step result.
