Focus the tester on what needs to be run and fast. Based off of the test run created by the Execution Scheduling and Assignment application, the Test Case Execution application displays all the relevant information that a tester needs to rapidly run test cases and update their results.
Test step level status, test data, expected and actual results, contextual documentation, attachments - all within in easy reach in an optimized UI. A flick of a wrist and test results are updated.
Sadly test cases fail sometimes (we're glad for that else we wouldn't have jobs!). But that doesn't mean you have to leave the context of the test case and jump to another application just to file defects.
A quick click right there, a defect screen pops up, enter details quickly while they are still fresh in your mind, and you're done. Get back to running the next test case! |
How much have you completed? How many are failing? Where? How is the overall quality? Which areas are most buggy? When will you be done?
Don't you get tired of answering these all the time? If only they'd leave you alone to actually test rather than provide ad-hoc status updates every 15 minutes!
Well, now the instant you update the status of the test case or file a new defect, all the metrics get updated automatically and the Project Dashboard reflects this and they'll never "bug" you again! How cool is that?
This works across both your manual and automated tests so everybody is getting a comprehensive view of all test execution. And as a Lead or a Manager, you do not have to spend many hours in the evenings collating information from various systems, formatting it and sending out status to everybody in the project team (sound familiar?) |
