Viewing the progress of running test assets

After you initiate or schedule a test run on the Execution page, you can view the progress of the test assets that are running or scheduled to run, from the Progress page. You can also view the test assets that have completed their run, are stopped or canceled, during the past hour.

Before you begin

You must have initiated runs of the test assets in your project from the Execution page.

Procedure

  1. Open your project and click Progress.
    Any one of the following views is displayed:
    • No test assets are displayed in the Progress page if there are no test assets that are running, scheduled to run, or have completed their run in the past hour.
    • Test assets in your project that are in any of the following states are listed:
      • Running
      • Scheduled
      • Completed
      • Stopped
      • Canceled
    • No test assets are displayed but the option Show all is enabled. You can click Show all to display the test assets that ran in the past hour. Test assets that were hidden from the display when Hide inactive was clicked are displayed.
    Note: Test assets are automatically removed from the display after 60 minutes of being added to the Progress page. You can hide the test assets from the display by clicking Hide inactive, so that you can view only the test assets that were added to the Progress page in the past hour. You cannot use the Progress page to view the history of test assets that were run from the Execution page.
  2. Identify the test asset by performing any of the following actions:
    • Identify the test asset or resource by scrolling through the list.
    • Search for the test asset by entering any text contained in the test asset name in the Search text box.
    • Create a filter query by using the New filter option by performing the following steps:
      1. Click New filter.
      2. Select an operator, and add a rule, or a group of rules.
      3. Add or enter the relevant parameters and either select or enter the condition and the criteria for the condition.
        You can select a parameter from the following list:
        • Type
        • Name
        • Started by
        • Started on
        • Finished on
        • Status
        • Verdict
      4. Apply the filter query to filter the assets based on the query.

        The test assets that match the filter criteria are displayed.

      5. Save the filter query by performing the following steps, if you want to reuse the filter query later:
        1. Click Save.
        2. Enter a name for the filter query.
        3. Click Save.
    • Retrieve a saved filter, if you have saved filter queries earlier by performing the following steps:
      Note: To open the filter query, you must have created and saved a filter query.
      1. Click the Open filters icon Image of the icon..
      2. Select the saved filter in the Filters dialog.
      3. Click Apply to apply the filter.

        The test assets that match the filter criteria are displayed.

    • Sort the test assets by the user who started the test by clicking the Started by column header, and find the test asset listed against your name.
    • Sort the test assets by the type of the test assets by clicking the Type column header, and find the test asset type you ran or scheduled.
    • Click Hide inactive to only display the test assets that are running or scheduled to run. This action removes all completed, canceled, stopped, or failed test assets from the display.
    Note: The items in the rows are sorted in an ascending or descending order when the column header is clicked. The following icons show the status of sorting in a column:
    • image of the icon items in the column are not sorted.
    • image of the icon items in the column are sorted in the ascending order or with the earliest record on top.
    • image of the icon items in the column are sorted in the descending order or with the latest record on top.
    You can view the following details of the test assets on the Progress page:

    Displays the icon for the type of the test asset.

    Name

    Displays the name of the test asset added to the project from the Git repository.

    Clicking the test name displays the Details panel. You can view the details of the test such as the description, the branch in the repository that contains the asset, the Git details, and the details of the commits to the repository. You can also view the history of the test runs for the specific test under the History tab of the Details panel.

    Status

    Displays the state of the test asset progressively.

    For example, after the run is in the Initiated state, it moves on to the Running state and ends in its final state depending on the verdict of the test run as either Completed, Failed, or Inconclusive.

    If the test run is stopped or a scheduled run is canceled, the status displayed is Stopped by User for a stopped run or Canceled for a canceled test.

    From the Actions column, you can perform the following operations on your test asset:
