Manage test run state

Learn how lifecycle state controls a test run’s behavior.

Every test run has a lifecycle state that controls its behavior. Understanding and managing this state is key to finalizing your test cycles and archiving results.

A test run can be in one of two states:

• Active: The default state. The test run is in progress, and testers can add or change results.

• Closed: The test run is finished and locked. Results can no longer be modified, which protects the data for historical reporting.

To complete a test run:

1. Navigate to the test runs dashboard in your project.

   

2. Locate the test run you want to finalize.

3. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) on the right side of the test run’s row and select Close Run.

   

   A confirmation dialog appears.

4. Click Close Run.
