The top section of the Execution Result displays the details of the test run:
Rational Quality Manager uses a default set of test execution states. The Actual Result field displays one of the following execution states:
Weight is a measure of execution effort and can be based on tester hours, units of work, or priority. For example, a test case that requires twice as much time to execute could have double the weight as another test case. When running reports to measure progress, weight value is taken into account when determining status.
You can use the sliders in this section to manually edit weight distributions for execution outcomes. For instance, even if a test fails, you might want to track that 80% of the test actually passed. If the test case has a weight of 100 points, you record that 80 points passed, while 20 points failed.
The following formulas are used to calculate the combined weight distributions for tests:
This section lists the software and hardware platforms specified in the test execution record. You can link to the test environment directly from the result.
This section displays the defects
that were opened during execution. You can also create new defects
(),
add existing defects (
), or change the blocking status of defects (
).
The defects associated with the Execution Result are listed in the Related
Defects panel on the right side of the page.
For a manual test, this
section outlines the steps executed in a test run, along with its
result. You can use this information to see at what step a test failed
or a defect was reported. You can open the defect by clicking the Defect () icon.
For other script types, you can click the link in this section to view the report in HTML format.
If you run a test without a script, this section will display execution details in a rich-text editor. You can edit these detail if you have the appropriate permissions.
