Test Run

Test Run allows you to change the state of any test case assigned to a test plan to one of four values. They are:

• passed - This is to indicate that the test case's requirements has successfully and satisfactorily been met.

• failed - This is to indicate that a test case was executed but did not pass. When a test case fails, Test Run will prompt the test engineer for a bug ID so that Test Run can more easily track what issues are related to which test cases.

• blocked - Often one test case will depend upon another. Meaning if one test case fails, then another test case couldn't possible be executed. In other words, the test case is "blocked" while some condition within the system is lifted. That being said, Test Run is not explicit about the meaning of blocked. For example, "blocked" could also mean that the test engineer assigned to the test case is on vacation, and until they return the test case cannot be run.

• not run - Just as the name implies, this test case has never been executed. Presumably though, contract to "blocked" there is nothing preventing it from being executed.

Users have reported the following error message:

Could not create file (C:\Apache\testrun\userdata/0/1)

This error results from your web server having insufficient priveleges to write to the specified directory where you have configured Test Run to upload files into. Make sure that the directory pointed to by your $USERDATA_DIR configuration parameter (found in testrun.conf) has been set to allow your web server to write files to it.
